#bookreview Words with Wings by Nikki Grimes

Synopsis:

Gabby’s world is filled with daydreams. However, what began as an escape from her parents’ arguments has now taken over her life. But with the help of a new teacher, Gabby the dreamer might just become Gabby the writer, and words that carried her away might allow her to soar. Written in vivid, accessible poems, this remarkable verse novel is a celebration of imagination, of friendship, of one girl’s indomitable spirit, and of a teacher’s ability to reach out and change a life.

Review:

This was an okay quick read. It’s about a young girl named Gabby who needed an escape from her parents arguments and she falls into daydreaming. Her new teacher at school actually encourages the daydreams and asks her to write them down. Turns out Gabbys daydreams paid off because it turned her into a really good writer. 

This story is written in verse one of my favorite writing formats. But overall very quick just under 100 pages.

A Girl Named Rainbow By Krystaelynne Sanders Diggs| #bookreview #netgalley #agirlnamedtainbow

My thoughts/ review:

This is a really cute uplifting children’s book about a little girl named Rainbow and how she one day doesn’t like her name because she keeps getting teased at school. Her mom helps her change her mind about her name and helps her to love the name she was given. This book was done really well I loved illustrations and how colorful and bright they were. I believe this book can help young children with self esteem issues as well as self love. I think young children need more books like this, especially when the media is telling young kids to be and act a certain way instead of learning to love themselves.

Rating: 4.75 ⭐
