A topic that isn't normally addressed in a children's book, but I glad it is here! An engaging story and beautifully illustrated.
A different slant!
This gives a different slant to a stereotypical theme and it's a great read for a start!
Such an original idea.
I love the originality of this. A subject that isn't normally tackled in childrens' books - and should be! Especially as step-parenting is now much more common. So this is absolutely on point and really well done. Perfectly pitched writing and great illustrations. Congratulations!
Amazing!
What a great way to help kids deal with the uncertainty of a changing family dynamic. This story carries a great message and there is a great sense of humor mixed into it. "Spicy kiddo sushi roll" :D
