The Whisperwicks: The Labyrinth of Lost and Found by Jordan Lees 
US pub date 5/28/24
.
.
Winsome and engaging, with appealing illustrations, The Whisperwicks is fast paced and manages to add in world building elements without too much clunkiness. It’s a magical read and a terrific debut novel from author Jordan Lees.
.
As a parent of a sensitive child who really learned this lesson, I’d suggest reading this one before handing it over to your sensitive child.
.
.
.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers and NetGalley for the DRC

You know there are those few books you have in your collection that make you feel warm inside? This book is one of them. It tells a tale of friendship, family and self discovery with a charming and heart warming story. The illustrations are so beautiful and match the stories mysterious charm perfectly. A great story to read over a few days at bedtime to provoke some wonderful discussions. This book would also be brilliant to improve a child’s inference skills by answering questions about the characters feelings throughout the book and why the child believes they feel that way.

Reading Log #1
Book One   They All Saw a Cat by Brendan Wenzel 2017 Caldecott Honor Book Publisher: Chronicle Books (2016) Hardcover: 38 Language: English ISBN: 9781452150130
Tumblr media
Narrative Plot:  Brendan Wenzel uses repetition, prediction, and pace wonderfully as the story follows a cat as it "walked through the world, with its whiskers, ears, and paws." Along the way the cat passes a variety of beings: humans, animals, and bugs; each seeing that cat with their own unique perception. Relationship Between Text and Visual Pictures: The visual images and the text complement each other perfectly. Each page spread considers the perspective of the particular being as it perceives the cat. The images Brendan Wenzel used are made from a variety of mediums: colored pencils, oil pastels, acyrlic paint, watercolor, charcoal, Magic Marker, pencil, and a MacBook. The use of multiple mediums allows for many different images of the cat to come alive. Use and Appeal: There is a huge appeal to audiences of all ages. The words are simple but the images are rich leaving much open for critical thinking and conversation. In fact, the book ends in a question which begs the reader or reader and group of listeners to consider: "imagine what it saw?"
Book Two  The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli 2014 Theodore Seuss Geisel Award Book Publisher: Disney Hyperion Books (2013) Hardcover: 34  Language: English ISBN: 9781423171010
Tumblr media
Narrative Plot:  This book tells a story of a crocodile who loves watermelons. While the crocodile talks about how much he/she loves watermelon, he/she eats a piece and accidentally ends up swallowing a seed. What ensues is a humorous freak-out that has the crocodile spiraling into a fear that he/she will turn into a watermelon! Luckily, the tragedy is averted when he burps up the seed and swears off watermelon...after just one more bite, he promises. Relationship Between Text and Visual Pictures: The text and the images complement each other throughout the story. Pizzoli kept his palette simple by using only four colors: watermelon pink, green, black, and white. The lines used are simple, thin and clean. In addition, since the crocodile is meant to make the young reader laugh, he is illustrated as short, round, and without scales and scary pointy teeth.   Use and Appeal: There is definitely a high appeal for this book. I think it would be best suited to a children's story time or end of the day book to quiet kids. The story is engaging because of its humor and use of text and picture to showcase the humor.
Book Three  Alma: and How She Got Her Name by Juana Martinez-Neal 2019 Caldecott Honor Book Book Publisher: Candlewick Press (2019) Hardcover: 34 Language: English ISBN: 978-0-7636-9355-8 (English hardcover)
Tumblr media
Narrative Plot:  This book tells the story of a young girl named Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pua Candela and how she got her name. When she complains to her father that her name is “too long to fit,” he sits her down to tell her where she got each of her names. As her father describes all the important people whose name she carries, Alma illustrates how they suit her. When he gets to her very first name, Alma, he tells her that she is the very first Alma and that she will write her own story. In the end, Alma embraces her name and is empowered to tell her story. Relationship Between Text and Visual Pictures: The illustrations were created using graphite, colored pencils and print transfers on handmade textured paper. Martinez-Neal also uses another simple palette by illustrating this story using only three colors (red, blue, and black) on a white background. The images and text follow a repetitive pattern: image and text of Alma and father together on one half of spread and image and text of person who Alma is named after. The subsequent spread has the image and text spread across the two pages and revolves around Alma fitting the name to herself.  Use and Appeal: This story is very appealing to younger audiences, ages 3-6. I can see it being used in a diverse classroom with students of all backgrounds coming together with different people for perhaps the first time. It opens the door to allow students to take pride and ownership of their name and the story they choose to tell by using the culture and tradition of the latinX naming process. 
Book Four  Am I Beautiful? Written by: Infinitefriendship Artist: flapperdoodle Publisher: Storybird (January 29, 2019) ebook: 23 pages Language: English URL: https://www.storybird.com/picture-book/2rejkea7m7-
Tumblr media
Narrative Plot:  This ebook tells the story of a nameless girl who is doing some internal reflection on herself and how the world sees her. It goes through how she sees and defines herself then poses questions to the outside world of whether she qualifies as beautiful then concludes with her stating she is. Relationship Between Text and Visual Pictures:  The illustrations complement the text. This is because the illustrations are all of the same character in various situations and clothing. The story is about only her as she reflects on who she is/what the world sees in her so it is appropriate that she is the main and really only focal point of most of the illustrations. Furthermore, the facial expression of the main character remains entirely the same except when she questions if she is beautiful. In that moment, she looks apprehensive. At all other times, her eyes are closed and she seems to be okay with herself, almost at peace. This decision in illustration truly puts an emphasis on that very real anxiety tweens (and many others) feel when considering themselves in the view of the world.  Use and Appeal: This story would be appealing to an audience of tweens as it covers the topic of self-love and self-esteem. I think what may be appealing even more, though, is that this was created by a regular person. I think this gives a great point of conversation for tween students. It sets an example of using their voice to talk about their feelings. It also allows for an activity where they think about what they like about themselves.  
Book Five My Family is Not Different Written by: missK Artist: SebastiaanVanDoninck Publisher: Storybird (January 29, 2019) ebook: 12 pages Language: English URL: https://www.storybird.com/picture-book/my-family-is-not-different-
Tumblr media
Narrative Plot:  This ebook describes a young child’s family with emphasis on the fact that their family isn’t different, “it’s mostly like yours. It’s filled up with love that pours through the house and outside the doors.”  Relationship Between Text and Visual Pictures:  The illustrations complement the text really well. The family is obviously quirky and so the images are as well. Bold colors and patterns are on the beings that are on the pages. They especially stick out on the white paper contrasting the speaker’s emphasis on their family’s non-differences. This works really well to show that the family is different, everyone’s is. Use and Appeal: This story would be appealing to an audience of children aged 5-8. This age of children usually starts to become aware of how different they are and therefore would really connect with  the speaker’s message. It is lighthearted and silly. In the end, it celebrates the fact that all families are the same because they are bound by love. A great book to have kids discuss their families/lives/stories/home life.

I won't deny I’m in love with the whole “Ivy + Bean” chapter book series by Annie Barrows. While every book in the series deals with various topics, two of the books are science-centered: “Break the Fossil Record” (book 3) and “What’s the Big Idea?” (book 7).⁣ 👭Bean, is a restless, quirky second-grader who likes doing things in her own way. Ivy, a quiet bookworm with weird ideas, is a seeming opposite of Bean but she understands her best friend better than anybody else.⁣ 📕In “Break the Fossil Record”, Bean is bored to death until the teacher gives her an Amazing Book of World Records. Now Bean can’t think of anything but breaking a world record herself. She tries to stuff her mouth with over two hundred straws, wash dishes quicker than anyone, and even break a glass animal with her loudest scream. ⁣ ��� But nothing works until Ivy proposes to follow in the footsteps of Mary Anning, the famous paleontologist, and look for dinosaur fossils in Bean’s backyard. Fueled by the admiration for the great scientist, the two girls start their race to the title of the youngest paleontologists in the world.⁣ This great book with funny black & white illustrations by Sophie Blackall will be a delight for all kids, and especially those who love digging around in search for the unknown.⁣ The full review: http://jeannewald.com/book-review-ivy-and-bean-break-the-fossil-record/

#fantasticallygreatwomenartistsandtheirstories #katepankhurst @bloomsburychildrens . #CHILDRENSBOOKREVIEW . . An inspirational collection of women artists from across the globe who have made their mark on history and the story of art. Their determination, huge talent and courage have fought against discrimination and social restrictions to make sure women's art is fully appreciated and in its rightful place for future generations. I knew of many but fascinated and humbled by the life stories of these fabulous women artists from UK ( #DameLauraKnight a personal inspiration) to India (#amritashergil) to Australia ( #emilykamekngwarreye) and beyond. . . Perfect for early and reluctant readers interspersed with lively illustrations and quirky text. Especially for budding artists and those who love history. An amazing series which I absolutely adore and this is going straight to the top of the pile especially as I fully appreciate the walls of injustice these women tore down for artists like me. 🥰🤩🖌️🎨 Brilliant 🥰. . #artbooksforkids #arthistory #middlegradereads #mglit #middlegradebooks #childrensbookreview #bookstagramfeature #coverkidsbooks #instabook #kidslit #newbook #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #coverkidsbooks #instabook #kidslit #newbook #newnonfiction #nonfictionforkids #igbookreview #instareview #instabooks #instabooklovers #igbook #gifted https://www.instagram.com/p/CaZzoM_A1h7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Do you ever wonder what’s happened to socks that go missing? I know I do! Especially when they reappear again out of nowhere! 🧦 Well, I had the honour to meet and speak with such a sock...and wow the stories they told! ✨ Meet Comet! 🌟 They have been on the loose studying the wildlife in Northern Canada. But now, Comet is really missing their other half. In honor of the launch of Sock on the Loose, I’m teaming up with author @mcglauflin and @MacKidsBooks to find Comet’s other half! I love how Conor McGlauflin didn’t approach the phenomenon of missing socks as a mystery to be solved, but rather for readers big and small to use their imagination to explore the possibilities of what adventure your missing socks might be experiencing! [Image Description: Image 1: A photograph or a blue sock covered in pink stars, with drawn-on black eyes, brows, and mouth, wearing a blue and white winter hat and white scarf, standing on a bookshelf, looking off into the distance. The book Sock on the Loose is visible out of focus in the background. Image 2: A photograph of the same sock looking at the camera and standing on a bookshelf beside the book Sock on the Loose. Image 3: A photograph of the same sock looking off into the distance while standing on the bottom shelf. The book A Sock on the Loose is visible out of focus, one shelf above.

This is Oliver (8 years) who was willing to be our very first kid beta reader. After he read the manuscript he da a few good suggestions, that we included, and we are so happy he is super enthusiastic about Hacking the Code. So much so, that he asked his 3rd grade teacher if they could read the manuscript in class. She agreed and now we have a whole 3rd grade class that read Hacking the Code ....and gave me feedback. They all loved it. We will share more of their feedback later. We are really glad to have Oliver as our very first fan. ———- Check out @hacking.the.code The book comes out the 15th of April🤩 ————- Like my art?
