Imagine That: The Magic of the Mysterious Lights 

by George Yuhasz

From Amazon: On a night when the sky is full of stars, sometimes there appears light that cannot be explained, even by the smartest astronomers… Evelyn is a little girl who lives with her parents and brother in a house with a big backyard. On nights when the sky is filled with brightly shining stars, she loves to go outside before bed to see the Milky Way and the Big Dipper and dream about the planets. But Evelyn has a secret: She is able to see flashes of light streaking across the night sky that no one else can see. And she’ll soon learn that her secret is actually a wonderful gift!

My Review: What a wonderful story for children. The illustrations are lovely and the word count is perfect in line with children learning how to use their imagination. Samples of a little girl and her imaginations are delightful and helps readers expand their own imaginations. Children are encouraged to reach for the stars themselves. Five stars.

Thank you for looking at my selections for today. All art pieces can be found at my gallery here.

From Amazon:

I love you more than the wind loves to blow.

I love you more than the rivers love to flow.

So please ask me how much I will love you today,

And, Sweet Baby, I will always have this to say,

I love you more,

I love you more,

I love you more.

My Review: This book is enchanting with the drawings and the rhymes of the story. I tell my own son all the time, “I love you more” or “I love you big bunches” on the phone or by text. Children need to know they are loved. This story enables that. Five stars.

Found of Amazon: In the Land of Boxes is the story of a young boy who is discovering what it means to be himself. His world is filled with the most incredible boxes! Some are tall; some are tiny. Some have colours brighter than you could ever imagine, and some have patterns that will make your eyes cross! And these are the boxes he lives in. But as he gets older, people try to put in him different boxes . . . some with no colour at all! In the Land of Boxes aims to teach children to be themselves and honour the unique aspects of who they are as they grow up. So, close your eyes and squeeze tight! Can you see it? Can you see all of the marvelous things that make you shine? The best possible you is where they combine!…

My Review: Simply wonderful! I loved this book because it let’s kids know that it’s fine to be unique and to be themselves. Kids learn that they can venture into other boxes, or aspects of life, to see how they fit in or how they like or don’t like any particular environment. Kids can be adventurous and at the same time, they can remain true to themselves. Five stars.
