The Wish Carvers

I loved this book! It tells the story of a brother and sister who sell carved figures in the market. They are not rich and need some new things to better their life. One day they find a magical knife that turns whatever they carve into reality. They carve several very big things, like a pot of gold and huge houses, they realize these things are not just fun, they come with a lot of responsibility and hard work attached to them. So they end up wishing to go back to their small house and their simple way of living. The story is wonderfully written! I was very entertained and interested while reading it. The message is powerful and beautiful and the illustrations are very well painted in watercolors, colorful and bright with great amusing details. I strongly recommend this book for any child!

FLUG AND THE ODDIES: GIANT BANANA

Giant Banana on Amazon

This book is very fun, it is about a bunch of surreal characters that are friends. One of them has a nightmare with a banana in it and we see the reactions of the others. Finally, they decide to go sleep at Flug’s house, who is the main character.
This book is all about the funny and crazy characters and their expressiveness. It has a small text which is very simple and kind of surreal too.
The illustrations are big, with clear shapes, very colorful and very dynamic. This makes the book perfect for young readers.
The style of the illustrations reminds us of the golden age of Disney from the early ’90s. Super crazy, entertaining and funny.

And Pip, Too!

Pip Too is about a big brother and his small sister. Every time the brother decides to do something, the sister wants to do it too, but because she is small she just kind of ruins the activity. She is full of energy and very funny, and the big brother is calmer and endures all her jumping around. By the end of the day, they go to sleep and show how much they love each other just as they are. This is a lovely story that reflects the most common relationship between brothers and sisters. The illustrations are entertaining and fun. I recommend this book.

Roma’s Gift

This book is absolutely wonderful!
It tells the story of a garden that is cared for by a little girl.
All the flowers in the garden are proud and happy when the girl picks them. That’s why they all want to have big, beautiful, colorful flowers with a wonderful fragrance.
But there is one plant who is different from the others, its flowers are small and plain, and it feels not as good as the others.
Later in the book, this plant grows delicious red tomatoes which the girl picks to eat with a friend.
Everybody in the garden understood that each one is different and beautiful, with unique gifts for the world and must be proud to be as it is.
The illustrations of this book are absolutely stunning. Full of light, vibrancy, and beauty. One of the prettiest books I have seen.
I strongly recommend this piece of art and beauty, great for any child and adult to enjoy!
