Quirky and lively art. This book champions the idea that if at first you don't succeed, try try again---because you never know when your efforts might be rewarded.

Vivid and quirky art. The story however, felt a bit flat for me. And, worse, the matriarchal main character is essentially defined by the crumbs on her clothes. The whole thing had a subtle ridiculing / bullying / condescending vibe, which I didn't like. I actually felt sorry for the main character.

A fictional story that is based on historic events. Educational and moving. This story is a great way to communicate the role that braids played during the Transatlantic slave trade. Age appropriate and culturally significant.

Based on a traditional Korean folktale. Vibrant, animated art and a story that celebrates the power of the mind—both its effect on our health, as well as thinking outside the box when it comes to problem solving.

A quick and joyous read that celebrates the magic of Christmas and the power of the imagination. A great book for the Christmas season. This one left me smiling.

This book reminds readers to celebrate the spirit of Christmas.

This book is a celebration of the cultural importance of food, with a particular emphasis on Indigenous traditions. There is even an easy, but intriguing, recipe at the end of the book that is worth trying.

A cute take on “Three Billy Goats Gruff.” The art is absolutely adorable. And the story is a gentle reminder to celebrate differences, rather than reject them.

This book gave me chills!

Lovely, lovely, lovely. The story has a very Zen-like feel in its celebration of the joy of living simply.

Love! Love! Love! I love this book so much.

A good message, but the delivery felt a bit flat—slow and not particularly engaging. Like the story, the art, for me, felt a bit middle of the road.
