Picture Book Review: The Artist

 


One dinosaur love painting until something goes wrong.

This is a great story about making a mistake and moving on from it. It's about being creative and burning out and filling the well again. It sends a great message about how no one is perfect, but we all deserve a second chance.

Picture Book Review: I'm Growing Great

 



Black Girls with awesome hair and growing up.

I loved the messages of love and kindness in this one.  I really loved how these girls are ready to bloom. The art is amazing - gorgeous illustrations of flowers and hair styles. Just an all-around beautiful book. 

A must have book for your school and public library collection!

Picture Book Review: Library Books Are Not for Eating



Ms. Bronte is a wonderful teacher....minus the problem that she loves eating books. No one can convince her otherwise except for the soccer coach. He has a brilliant idea. 

A really fun story about the love for books and how they taste. Great illustrations. The last little bit makes me think there might be a sequel in the works. Which would be most welcome.

Picture Book Review: If My Love Were a Fire Truck


All the ways a father loves his son.
I love the rhymes. I love how the father and son explore the world and find it full of love. I love the illustrations; they are amazing. It's a very sweet read perfect for all dads with sons and wonderful for libraries.
