I enjoyed this children’s book. This is an author that writes children’s books that are full of learning aspects. They are colorful and engaging pages. This book is no different. A story about a family who is hungry. Instead of letting her family eat the dry cow, Jacquline takes the cow and sells it for three beans. What will Jacquline find when she plants these beans? Will she learn that just because things are brighter on one side but doesn’t mean that things could be brighter on the other. The pages are interactive and your child will easily understand the meaning behind this story. Great story for all children. I highly recommend this book.
What Do the Plants Say? Is a picture book that is full of imagination and creativity, talking plants and what’s more our main character can understand them. This is fun story is aimed at young readers aged 8 – 12 years. The illustrations by Janet King are colourful and make the story come alive. Lois once again cleverly inserts science into the children’s books she writes. It allows them to open up their young minds and imagine what it could be like. Alex is one smart cookie and believes that plants can talk. She is able to think outside the square and invent something she believes will help her understand them. Join Alex and her clever mind as she makes some fun and interesting inventions to indulge nature. This is another wonderful story that would make a good present.

This book was another great story written by Lois Wickstrom. It was a classic story but with a twist. A Mother and daughter was struggling to get seeds to make a garden. The daughter traded her cow for 3 magic beans. The world building and characters was good. The illustration matched the wording and had some colors.
5/5 Stars This is a well written book that is excellent for a younger audience. It’s very easy to read and understand. As an adult, I didn’t feel like I was reading something ridiculous. It’s a great read and I really enjoyed the story.

This was a very interesting book. I enjoyed it very much. I think it gave a very accurate presentation of what some kids go through when they start a new school, especially if they are just a little bit different. I also liked the story line about Silas’ grandfather’s struggle with Alzheimer’s. The accurate portrayal of the struggle that families face when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s was very good. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has felt alone as I think it will give them hope and comfort.
This is a great story for late elementary and early middle school kiddos. I loved the messages throughout this book. We read it together as a family and talked about bullying and standing up for what is right. For reference, my kids are 7 and 11, and I think that age frame is spot on. Both of my kids are also the smaller ones in their classes which made this even more relatable for them. I enjoyed the illustrations, and the flow of this story was great. What a great way to get people talking about fairness, friendships, and fitting in!

This story is pure fun and absolutely wonderful. I have read many books from this author and this story is one of my favorite. How can you describe what a monster truly is? Meg’s big sister, Sue, tries to explain to Meg all about monsters and they can be scary. With each detail Sue has Meg goes along and understands all while being visually impaired. That does not stop Meg for sure to know all about monsters!!
This book is wonderful wonderful wonderful. I very highly recommend everyone of all ages to definitely read this. The illustrations are great and just the story itself and the message…truly fantastic!

Silas is the new kid at school, and if that isnt terrifying enough, he is much smaller than the other kids in his grade. Even after all the horror stories about 6th grade that his grandfather has told him, Silas is still pretty open minded about it all. Even Silas’ teachers do not believe he is 11 years old, and he is removed from his English class on the first day! Not long after starting school, Silas becomes the target of the class bully…but he also starts making friends. When Chad (the bully) runs for class president, Silas knows he can not let him win. This gave me very David and Goliath vibes, in a way. The characters in this book are full of behaviors and attitudes that are realistic. As a mother of a sixth grader, I enjoyed this story as it gave me some insight into the real life struggles of acceptance that we seen in our real lives this year. This story about acceptance and middle school behaviors hit home, and I will have my son read it as he prepares for 7th grade! Reviewed By @zoltrixes

This is a story of loss, grief and rebuilding relationships. It is not an easy read as it tears at your heart – knowing that sisterbond, and mother daughter bond can so easily be broken. I liked how the author shows us all sides of the story through the short chapters from each perspective. It helps to understand what all the characters are feeling, thinking and going through and it really shows that we don’t know deep down what someone else is going through – even our own sister. The setting of the story is beautiful – I especially liked the garden the visit in Canada.

This is a great children’s story. It is a story that is full of friendship and fun. A story of standing up for others and how an unexpected friendship will change the story. I enjoyed how colorful and engaging the pictures are. The characters are fun and give life to the story. This is a story that will keep any child engaged and teach them friendship. A story that would be great for any child. An entertaining story. I highly recommend this book

With a fresh perspective on human behavior, as seen by a deer family and their raccoon guide, this book will get you thinking like an animal scientist and have you laughing, as well. Not only are these musings fun, but they just might bring us closer to the natural world and deepen our respect for it, making us better stewards of our environment in the future
Feather Chelle is a single mother, living in Texas with her children, two grandpuppies and a grandpiggy (guinea pig). She is totally blind, due to a battle with Retinoblastoma and enjoys homeschooling with her family. She loves to teach and has been writing since the first grade, starting out on her grandma’s old typewriter, although her first book was not published until the very end of 2020. The pandemic forced her to slow down from many activities, and she decided to use some of her newly discovered spare time to focus on publishing some books that she had written throughout the years. To date, she has managed to publish seven books, and there are over twenty more books in various stages of production. Her goal is to create fun and engaging books that also educate.
I really enjoyed reading this collection of stories with my nephews. There were a variety of different situations addressed. Not only did the stories teach the kids it also got them talking and thinking outside the box. I would recommend this book to others.

The Promised Plan by Sharon Hughson takes us on a journey of family, love, loss, grief, a mother’s last wishes, sister relationship/dynamics, reconciliation, hope, drama, angst, and secrets. I recommend having a box of tissues close at hand before you dive into this emotional read. This collection of heartfelt and thought-provoking short stories strummed my emotions all the while pulling me further along on this relatable journey of sisterhood, loss, and final wishes. Well worth the read!

Today, at my scouts meeting, I had a long talk with a Scout about bravery. We talked about how we can still feel scared and yet still be brave. I immediately thought of this book and we talked about all types of forms of bravery. It was definitely a core moment for me and I loved hearing it all from an amazing 11 year old.
I love finding books that I can share with my children, and this book did not disappoint. I found myself sharing snippets of the stories with other kids in my family and now in Scout group. My daughter and I love reading together before bed and we tried to relish this book as much as possible. I know we will revisit it again.

This beautiful book (the stories and the illustrations) offers a series of short stories dealing with big emotions and situations including tragic losses, facing fears, having confidence, meeting those who look, speak or have customs different than you, dealing with neurodivergency, those with special needs, and more. It’s a beautiful way to teach courage, acceptance, coping mechanisms and more.
There were a lot of inspiring stories and good conversations with my kids about what certain story aspects may mean and a lot of wheels turning in little heads. This is a beautiful way to spend some time together and get some important topics out in the open and appropriate either for independent readers or as an opportunity for sharing these beautiful stories together with your kids.

Sue tells her younger sister, Meg, that monsters are scary and tries to prank her by explaining what frightening qualities they have. Meg, who is blind, asks lots of questions using her other senses to better understand what her sister thinks is so scary.
This book is a wonderful way to give kids a way to understand that other people experience things differently than you do – and a great way to encourage different points of view and maybe a bit of courage in the face of something scary. Bright, fun illustrations add to the experience for young kids. A fun read together!

This book is a beauty story about grief, family and connection. It is such a moving story and emotional on every level. This book is entirely about the characters and their journeys – both individual and combined. Each of them were so different and yet their connection brought them together and forged a story so deep. This is the first book that I have read from this author and I am impressed with the level and style of writing. This book drew me in entirely and I had to see it through to the end. It felt like I was there with the characters, going on the journey with them. I loved every minute of this book and I cannot wait to read more from this author.

An emotional and engaging read, which kept me captivated throughout. The storyline centres around a mother’s determination to help her daughters to reconcile, but her planned intervention never happens, and it becomes her dying wish instead. The story is told through a collection of connected short stories and poems. The plot explores a family’s journey through loss, death and grief, and so it does take you on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it. However, the characters are so well defined that I felt engaged with them. Main characters, Mercedes and Lacey Bloom, along with Krista White all go on a journey of discovery as they try and heal their difficult relationships. The setting, which was partially set in beautiful Victoria, BC, was brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. I found this to be an inspirational story about loss and grief, but overall it’s a story of family relationships, and one which I would recommend.

This is a very emotional read but one that might help someone struggling with loss.
Krista and Lacey are sisters who’ve lost their way with each other. Life has dealt them a series of blows that have cost them a lifelong friendship, not to mention a family bond. When they are faced with the tragedy of losing their mother, this bond is even further apart.
Mercedes is the daughter of Lacey and made an agreement with her grandmother on her deathbed that she would see to it that the sisters make a trip that they’d been talking about for over a year.
When neither sister wants to make this trip, it’s up to Merci to get them to go. But then, Merci has some secret that she’s keeping that she does not want revealed either.
This is a story of love, loss, redemption, and forgiveness. Lacey and Krista are like fire and ice. They clash over so many things but they are ultimately just “things” that get in the way of a great relationship.
I recommend this book for anyone who is going through the fires of loss, disappointment, or feeling lonely/discouraged. This book will bring about a different perspective on life when it can be seen through the eyes of another. This is loosely based on a true story with the author and the way this was penned was just beautiful. There is a religious element that was such an important thread to this story!

The Promised Plan by Sharon Hughson. This is such a beautiful set of short stories that are absolutely heartbreaking. Its the story of 2 sisters who have become estranged and their mom makes a plan to reconnect them with her granddaughter but before she can see her plan come to fruition she passes away. The daughters just don’t know if they can reconnect but want to make their mom’s wish come true. Especially when their daughter/niece wants them to make up because she told her grandma she would help. Krista and Lacey are just like any family members that end up not speaking because of something and it hits home so much. They truly want to make their mom’s dying wish come true but its so much work and it just may be too much work. If they don’t reconcile they will end up hurting their daughter/niece Mercy and she will be devastated. Read these heartwarming stories to see if a trip can put this family back together.

The Promised Plan is an interweaving of short stories and poems and tells the story of grief, loss, estrangement, and familial relationships. It is a gut wrenching read full of raw emotions and feelings that will leave you in tears. This is a story that I know many, including myself, can relate to. As a mother we all want for our children to be close so when an estrangement occurs between siblings it can be difficult for a mother.
This story centers around a mother who devises a plan to reconcile her daughters but passes away before she is able to do so. As her dying wish she enlists the help of her granddaughter, Merci, to help her get her daughters to reconcile. Lacey attempts to keep estranged from her sister Krista, until her daughter intervenes. She risks disappointing and hurting her daughter if she does not try to forgive her sister. Can these women come together and reconcile after losing their mother? Or will hurt, anger, and hard feelings keep them estranged?
The author beautifully tells the story of how hurt, disagreements, and misunderstandings can occur between siblings. The result is not just estrangement between the siblings, but it causes a ripple effect through the family that can cause feelings of anger, betrayal, and sadness. After losing their mother Lacey and Krista must decide if they can push the hurt, guilt, and anger behind them and forgive one another in order to reconcile. The story hits home for me because of my relationship with my sibling so this was a difficult and emotional read for me. This book will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as the author navigates through the difficult topics of death, grief, loss, familial relationships, estrangement, secrets, lies, anger, betrayal, hurt, forgiveness, and reconciliation. I highly recommend this book!

This was a very moving and emotional read. It contains poems and is like short stories bit it all covers the same topic. It’s a story of one families way of dealing with the loss of their mother/ wife/grandmother. Such a huge loss in a family can make friction and arguments even worse as everyone tries to deal with their grief in their own way. Resentment can build and push people further apart at the time they should be the closest they have ever been. When their mum passed Krista and Lacey were already not on speaking terms. These once close sisters have a wedge between them that needs to be fixed and before their mum passed she had a plan to do just that. However fate intervened and their mum didn’t make it to see her daughters reconcile. That is now down to the granddaughter to execute this plan and hopefully repair the damage. This story is a story of grief, guilt, shame, dealing with all of these issues and some unresolved issues that have pushed the sisters apart. This book is a very open and honest look at grief and dealing with loss. At times it’s not pretty as the sisters struggle with resentment towards God, the circumstances and even each other as well as feelings of guilt that they could have done more. It is a beautifully open honest look into a family torn apart by loss and grief and the hope that no matter what things can become better and conflicts can be resolved.

Fee, Fi, Fo, Grow is a recreation of Jack and the Bean Stalk. Jacqueline is a little girl living with her mother and they have a hard time finding food. They own a cow named Bessie and decide to sell her so they can eat. On the way to market, Jacqueline trades for some seeds. Well, as you probably know the seeds grow overnight into a huge stalk with a Giant couple living at the top. The wife is very nice and wants to help the little girl out, while the husband wants to eat her. He chased her and then said he would wait for her to come back because she was bringing his wife beans. Jaqueline sneakily brought the wife beans and got a basket of golden eggs in return, which now makes her and her mother rich. This book is a Science Folktale but I didn’t feel it taught as much as in the other stories the author has written. I thought this one explained how growing food is profitable for the sustainability of life, but how one goes about was fiction. One could take a deeper meaning from it where when you are at your lowest, there are times that your luck can change for the better. Sometimes you just have to take a chance on something that seems unrealistic.
There are wonderful characters in this book. Each character shows you a different person. This story is very realistic and is very personal. A great story to read when you just need a pick me up and to know that you aren’t alone.

A Monster for Meg is about a girl who wants to understand why monsters are so scary. Meg is blind so she has her sister start to describe the scariness of a monster. The funny thing is Meg doesn’t find it so scary because everything being described reminds her of something her sister already does. It was a cute book. I like how they made it that just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean you can’t experience something. Also, the fact that although you may not see it doesn’t mean it is scary. It was a cute, inclusive take on a childhood fear for many.

I love the inclusiveness of this story. This is the story of Meg, who is blind, and her sister who is describing to Meg what a monster is like. It’s a very cute story of how Meg’s sister describes the monster and how Meg relates the monster back to her sister. I love how Wickstrom always weaves life lessons into her stories and is very inclusive as well. This is probably one of my favorites. And as always, the illustrations are on point.

I enjoyed reading this great emotional story. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for them. I found this book to be well written and engaging. It is a shorter story but it sure packs a punch. The characters are strong and supportive of each other. They are relatable and took me on an emotional ride that just kept going. This is a story about a mother and her plan to reconcile her daughters. But what happens when the plan outlives the mother? This is a hard to put down story that is written with heart and soul. It will pull at your heart strings and bring reality to life. I really enjoyed this book and how much the characters added to the story. I highly recommend this book.
