Picture Book Wednesday: Etta Extraordinaire

Etta's school is hosting a talent show and she's determined to take part in it. But she's a little nervous about it. She practices all week, but when the big day arrives, will she be able to shine?

This was a great story about facing your fears. She loves dressing the part and acting like a huge star. I love the message about practice and hard work and being brave. The illustrations are charming. This is a magical book.

 

Picture Book Review: Mae Among the Stars

This book is inspired by Mae Jemison's Life - she was the first Black woman in space.

I loved this book from the amazing illustrations to the dream of a little girl. Of course I loved the library scene. I love the Mae followed her dreams, worked really hard, and never gave up. She believed in herself and she accomplished her dream. Such an inspiring read!

Perfect for public and school libraries.
