Bogo the Fox Who Wanted Everything is a visual wonder and delightful read that encourages acceptance of yourself. It skillfully addresses and dissuades our natural desire to feel inferior. It also elegantly emphasizes that despite failures and setbacks, you are still valuable to your friends and family. And finally, it skillfully does the important work of urging each one of us to accept ourselves and bravely pursue what we love.

[Reviewed from copy received courtesy of Words in the Works] Max the Flying Sausage Dog is one of our absolute favorite book series. The subject, the humor, the prose, and illustrations are so perfectly and expertly done and so completely inline with our family’s sense of humor that we’re all enamored with books one, two, and now three. The hardest my eldest son has ever laughed was when we read the first book of Max the Flying Sausage Dog. He […]

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. While I Dissent may look a biography picture book about the Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to any adult passing by, it apparently sends out a secret signal to children that it is actually a superhero book. Don’t feel bad if you miss the signal. It’s on a very unique and subtle frequency. There are no lasers, no Star Wars, no Minecraft anything, no construction vehicles, […]

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. The Little Gardener by Emily Hughes is a miracle of a picture book. Its stunning lush, rough, almost jagged, illustrations paired with a simple, striking narrative holds an incredible power to focus its readers onto this single story and let the rest of the world fade away. Incredibly, this book can take two rowdy, bouncy boys and their frazzled mother and make them all stop, breathe, and […]
