Welcome to my reading corner

I love children's books. Even before I started having kids of my own I would peruse the kids section in libraries, bookstores and thrift stores. I am a textile artist by trade and that's what drew me to picture books, all of the illustrations, the colors and the imaginations of these writers.

I now have two boys of my own who love to read and when they were younger I never minded reading the same book to them hundreds of times if they asked. I have worked at two preschools and my favorite part of the day was always circle time where we would read to our future scientists and artists.

Likes:

1. I loved the illustrations in this story so much that I googled the illustrator. Along with drawing cute creatures she also makes the cutest plush animals https://www.lumichee.com and on instagram @ Lumicheeshop

2. I believe that a lot of young people will relate to this book because when I was a little girl I was always nervous to give and get Valentine's Day cards. I was scared no one liked me and that I wouldn't receive anything.

Dislikes

None, I loved this book.
