Wordless book about communications and perspective, a snail who accepts who he is and Dinos Driving. I read a vareity of picture books so far this month.
I was fascinated to learn that the American astronomer Vera Rubin first realized that women could be astronomers when she read a children’s book about Maria Mitchell! Years later, when it was time for her to apply to university, she chose Vassar College because she remembered that Maria Mitchell had once taught there, and she figured it would be a welcoming place for women in science. I love this because it shows how powerful a book can be in the life of a child. Read my Q&A with Toronto author Laura Alary.
In this rhyming picture book, kids can learn about big feelings - and the fact everyone has them - and what to do to help.
It's summer. I have been doing lots of reading and no writing. Check out my reviews of Berani, Michelle Kadarusman's latest middle grade, The Science of Babies board book and some adult books Karen Swan's Summer at Tiffany's.
I read a variety of fiction and non-fiction picture books covering topics such as adoption, mindfulness, princesses and butterflies.
Endless Ever After, Pick Your Path to Countless Fairy Tale Endings was a fun book where often you died, but you always had the chance to do it over.
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.
