I enjoyed this book a lot! It tells the story of a shy Owl that is growing out of her fears and trying to explore more and more of her surroundings. This book is able to combine two cool subjects – A nice story about overcoming limitations and a little travel through southern Spain. We can see some monuments, local animals, feasts and more. I think this is a very smart idea and it was very well executed. The illustrations are nice, with a traditional style that fits very well the focus of the book on tradition and nature. This is a good book to reveal the spirit of southern Spain to children all over the world. I recommend it!

This is a children’s book that makes an introduction to what sushi is. A little boy makes the introduction and shows us his love and excitement for sushi.
The idea for this book is nice and well done. The style of the illustrations fits quite well the theme. The illustrations are very colorful, clean and well-composed. Just like sushi 🙂
I thought the illustrator did a better job drawing the food than the characters. But still, overall I quite liked the artwork.
This is a fun and beautiful book, great to help introduce sushi to any child.

This book is about a small bear wanting to prove to his dad that he is a courageous big boy. Some of the tests he has to endure are too hard for him but he shows to be a smart boy, able to be open to his dad and speak of his true fears and emotions.
This is a nice, entertaining story with a good message.
What really caught my attention were the illustrations of this book. They are very good. The illustrator did an amazing job with beautiful, original compositions and immersive, beautiful sceneries. I think the cover is ok but doesn’t really let us know how great are the illustrations inside. So you will have a very good surprise once you open it.
This is a good book for boys and to let them know it’s ok to be emotional, but also for just any kid, because it is entertaining and beautiful.

This is such a loving book, made me feel very inspired.
The book tells the story of a homeless ginger cat. Shows how difficult it is to live in the street, brings awareness to all the problems and dangers a homeless cat has to deal with.
This ginger cat lives a difficult life, and only in his old days, he is lucky enough to find a home.
I love how the story is written. One can feel a lot of passion and empathy in the words of this book. One can see that the author has a close understanding of this subject and has a huge love for animals.
The story is emotional but it is also entertaining, with a very good and clear narrative. The characters and environment have depth and beauty to them.
The illustrations are bright and colorful and do a good job portraying the characters and their feelings.
This book has opened my eyes and heart a bit more to the problems homeless animals face and to the importance of helping them. There is always the possibility to make life better by helping one of these animals, even if they are older like Carlin.
I strongly recommend this book.

I was deeply touched by this lovely book about a boy named Ben who has cerebral palsy. In the book, we can follow his adventure on the beach. He runs, flies and plays with his family. Everything happens in his mind but he is always joyful and with a big smile on his face. The book inspires to live one’s life to the fullest despite the physical problems one may have. It brings awareness about people with cerebral palsy – Ben may be in a wheelchair but he has a great imagination that gives him wings and freedom. He also has this amazing energy that inspires everybody and brings light to the world. The illustrations in this book are very good. They do a great job portraying Ben and bringing his energy to life. All the formatting and design of the book is very professional and well made. This is a beautiful book with such a powerful message. I strongly recommend it not only for kids and parents dealing with this reality but to all parents and kids. It is a very entertaining, fun and powerful book everybody can enjoy.

I got really interested in Judy Mastrangelo right when I first met her work. A contemporary artist doing such a meticulous artwork in this classic, traditional style is a really rare thing to find. I was very intrigued and curious to read and see her books. The Star is a book illustrating the famous poem Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star by Jane Taylor. I think the book is nice. The illustrations inside the book are as lovely as the cover illustration. The ageless, soft style in pink, blue and yellow of the illustrations fits nicely this classic poem. I appreciate the dedication with which these images were made, creating a dreamy world of orderly, sweet beauty. The design and formatting of the book are ok, but I think that these illustrations deserve more refined formatting. I recommend this book for children and adults who appreciate soft, classic, traditional illustration.

I enjoyed this little book.
It is about a little firefly who doesn’t like her light and is always hiding it. With the help of her friends, she will learn to love her light and accept herself as she is.
The illustrations of this book are awesome. The illustrator did a good job playing with the light and shadow, creating great light effects, and bringing focus to the theme of the book. The formating is very professional as well. A beautiful book about self-acceptance every kid should have.
