Genre: Childrens Books
Author:Kimberly Kauffman-Gracia
I ordered this book for Lyla after seeing that one of our fellow multipliers"cubanakimm" had written a children's book. I love to support new authors and Lyla loves having me read new books! It's a really cute story about little bug who feels like he isn't special because all of his friends have special features. Little bug hasn't realized yet that he has his own special qualities. He learns that we all have unique features that make us special. I thought it was really cute. It teaches a valuable lesson to small children. The pictures are great because they are simple with bright colors. I think this is important for young children because they are drawn to bright colors and become overwhelmed if there is too much detail. Lyla loves the book and points at everything as I'm reading it. Since it's a soft cover book I have to keep Lyla away from it so she doesn't tear it and it sometimes becomes a tug of war! ;-) She always loves when I read it.

Tracy, that was a great review! Thank SO much! You just about made me cry again. And once again, I want to let everyone know I'm sorry about the soft cover. Unfortunately the publishing company I went through didn't offer board books :( Maybe next time! And again Tracy, thank you. I'm glad you like it!!!

I really hope you can get others published again w/the other stories about little bug. This style would work well with a board book too because they're not too busy. Some books don't work well as board books because they have too much going on and it gets too squashed. Your pictures really are great.

Kimm, I had no idea you were a writer of children's books! How very cool! Did you also do the illustrations?

Thanks for cluing me in, Tracy.

Debbie, I posted a congrats to Kimm for publishing the book awhile back Kimm's Book

But to answer your question since she will be away on vacation this week. Yes she did do all the illustrations.

Tracy, great review! It's great to hear that Lyla loves it. I know Antonio enjoys me reading it to him. He always say Nana's Book when I read it. Of course not so clearly spoken :-) It's cute.
