When talking to Natalie, I fell in love with the synopsis and I absolutely loved the rhyming aspect of the book, which will be so fun and engaging to children!
Natalie told me as well that she wanted to give a voice to when she worked as a Councillor for adopted and Foster children and wanted to intertwine that into her book for children. I think it was subtle yet so effective.
I really recommend trying this out with your kids especially if they love the Toy Story films!...more

I am not too good at art myself and I've always Thank you to NetGalley and Maricar Concepcion Ramos for this ARC. I can't recommend this book enough! I am not too good at art myself and I've always been fascinated with calligraphy, so when I saw this book on NetGalley, I had to request a copy. This book covers so many different styles of calligraphy, as well as flourishes and details to add to make your calligraphy personal to you. I can't wait to go back through this book more in depth with my brush pens and spend time working on my calligraphy! ...more

I love any book that deals with the psychology and theories about our minds, and especially the nature/nurture debate. Therefore, this book really hooked me from the start. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because at times I found it a bit repetitive. Overall, I found it really interesting!...more

I think it highlights through 'jokes' how misogynistic our society is as a whole, some of which I didn't even realize until I read this book as it is so integrated into society. Enlightening read.
