My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luna The Howling Husky Finds Her Howl is a children’s book designed for kids between the ages of six to ten years of age. The book tells the story of a young Husky puppy that does not seem to fit in with the rest of her siblings. She looks different because her eyes are brown and not blue like all her siblings. Luna also cannot howl at the moon like her siblings are able to do. One day while out playing Luna finds a quiet cat and the two become fast friends. When Luna finds her forever home with a loving family, she is finally able to find her voice. This was a beautifully written story with messages about friendship, love, acceptance, kindness, empathy, family, and finding your voice. The illustrations are bright, bold, colorful, and really bring the story to life. I highly recommend this book for children of all ages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amaleigha is a little girl who loves to read books. She visits her school library often and reads as many stories as she can. One day while visiting her school library Amaleigha discovers that there seems to be a shortage of books written in different languages. There are no books available to read for those from different countries that have come to live in her community. Amaleigha comes up with a plan and with the help of her school and her community they set out to solve this problem.

Amaleigha is a smart little girl that is wise beyond her years. She is great at problem solving and comes up with solutions before putting a plan into motion. Amaleigha is a true inspiration for children of all ages. This book was beautifully written, and the illustrations were exquisite. A must read for all ages!
