My Secret Sister, a true story of twins separated at birth, was a good read, but a difficult one. I also review three children's books including Annie's Cat is Sad, Blue Baboon FInes Her Tune and Room for More by Michelle Kadarusman.
Two picture books both with the same message - follow your dreams, be yourself and just dance.
From a thriller by a Canadian author to a book about C.S. Lewis and rubber bands, I read such a variety of books this week. Check out my reviews.
Perfect read for World Oceans Day: The Whale Who Swam Through Time, A 200-Year Journey in the Arctic
The Whale Who Swam Through Time is a perfecrt picture book for World Oceans Day, and any time kids want to learn about the world's longest-living mammal.
I read some great books this spring including Karen Swan's latest, The Last Summer, and Shyam Selvadurai's Swimming in the Monsoon Sea.
Throwaway Daughter shares the story of a Canadian girl who learns about her childhood roots, while Here Lies is a dystopian novel about a young woman looking to reclaim her mother's ashes. I also review two picture books, one about refugees and the other about plants.
Jennifer Dance's latest book, gone but still here, hooked me from the first sentence. Each chapter tells more of the story from the point of view of characters such as Mary, living with dementia, and Sage, the wise golden retriever who proves humans just don't get it.
Harvey Takes the Lead, Northwind, Anzu The Great Kaiju and Does a Bulldozer have a Butt? Middle grade and picture books reviewed.
Clear off your calendar, because this book will have you reading until the end (and laughing. And crying).
