3 stars A sweet little pictures book, perfect for inspiring different positive traits in children. There is a strong connection to family as well as an emphasis on becoming one’s own person. The illustrations were lovely, great use of color. A very cute read that is joyful, loving, and calming. Goodreads

4 stars A stunning book about loving and caring for your hair. The text of the book is rather lengthy and wordy, so best for older children. However, the pictures are beautiful for any age group. I loved the use of color and the details of the garden. A very lovely book. Within the story,…

5 stars A fantastic story, perfectly crafted. This was a great short book to read after having read Gaiman’s Norse Mythology. This story nicely incorporates some of the myths, characteristics, and other qualities present in Norse Mythology.

3 stars A wonderfully fantastic journey through the unknown. This book is pure Gaiman, filled with all sorts of oddities, mystical elements, and pure magic. I listened to the audiobook of this as read by the author. This is the third or fourth audiobook I’ve listened to by Gaiman and each one is a treat….

4 stars I grew up reading the Judy Moody books and as I read some of the later books for the first time as a adult, I still feel the same engagement as when I was younger. This one had such a unique storyline. It was fun to see Judy experience some aspects of college…

4 stars A very humorous, overall-lighthearted book. Within these pages, Ephron bemoans the struggles of aging necks, messy purses, routine personal upkeep, parenting, and not being able to find a once-loved food, among other things, all with wit and humor. I really enjoyed the book overall, but I am having a difficult time deciding on…
