A simple loving story about a tree shared by two friends as they grow up ends with a lesson in how to grow a tree from an acorn. Perfect!
The illustrations by Geneviève Godbout are simple, meaningful, imaginative, clear, and with gentle colors.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, and especially to a school or teacher or your public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Quarto Publishing Group – Ivy Kids, Ivy Kids Eco via NetGalley. Thank you!

Yeh-hsien has only one friend, a beautiful red fish, who she visits every day. Unfortunately, her cruel stepmother tricks the fish and kills it out of spite. However, the fish’s bones magically allow Yeh-hsien to make and receive wishes, including to attend a large festival, which alters the course of her life.

Although I am not the hugest fan of fairytales, it was interesting to read another variation of the Cinderella story. Despite cultural differences in the details, there’s more of a common throughline than not. The writing was evocative, and I could very nearly smell the food fragrances at the festival. The illustrations are also compelling to look at, with lots of bright colors. This edition is written in both Cantonese and English, making it accessible to many readers.… (plus d'informations)

First things first: the illustrations are some of my favorite. I love Genevieve Godbout. Her book "Goodnight Anne" I adored when I found it in Victoria, BC, Canada. So Genevieve's illustrations of a family getting ready for apple cake fully capture the thankful spirit.

This book was dubbed as a "Thanksgiving, but not" book. Truly, it is about being thankful and expressing gratitude. But there aren't the usual Thanksgiving elements (even including pumpkins on that list) to be found. Not that I personally have an issue with Thanksgiving elements ;) Still, patrons will love this book. It feels year round to me.

Because isn't gratitude something that should be practiced all the time?

What do humpback whales, wolves, salmon, and baby sea turtles have in common? They are all success stories in this book about projects where people have come together to reverse the harm caused to our planet. Each example is brief but with enough information to spark the reader's interest. With so much bad news about the environment and climate change, this book provides an antidote showing that individual people can band together and make a real difference. Suggestions at the end for what the reader can do begin simply with instructions to take care of oneself, with each category a stepping stone further for the budding environmentalist. The muted, natural tones of the illustrations make the natural world feel inviting and welcoming, another encouragement for the young reader to step outside their door and engage with the natural world.
