What a cute story. This is the second book I have read about Amaleigha. She is a clever young lady with big ideas. This time she wants to help her friends, who speak other languages, have more options of books to read. I love how her ideas bring the community together. And at the end, it shows how we can do the same.

Amaleigha is a five year old girl who sees the world in a different way. She enjoys the little things in life, all the way down to the grass between her toes or the insects on the ground. She is very observant and enjoys the forrest and all there is to see, smell, hear and touch. She loves it so much that she wants the whole world to be able to experience it with her. Then she gets an idea, and with her families support, she makes her idea a reality.
This is such a neat story and it teaches kids to dream big, believe in themselves and with hard work they can make a big difference.

What an adorable story! I loved everything about this book. Not only did it teach kids, and adults, a lesson regarding how to get book boxes set up in your neighborhoods, but I loved that it also included other ethnicities as well. It even included some dialogue in Spanish, German, and Chinese. What a wonderful idea! I love that the main character is such a wonderful young girl that not only loves to read but wants to bring books to all the kids in her area. With the help of the adults around her she can accomplish her goal of bringing books of all languages to not only the book box but her school library too. This is a highly recommended book for kids. In fact, I am purchasing several for Christmas gifts. I encourage you to do the same. All kids need to read this book.

Amaleigha and the Big Idea by Janice Pratt. This is such a fun book. Its for ages 4-7 but it has lessons we can all learn from. The pictures are very colorful and pretty and the story itself is wonderful. Amaleigha has lots of ideas and she likes to share them with everyone. She especially loves everything about outside. The flowers, the grass, the insects and the seasons. Amaleigha is used to spreading her ideas with adults who will help her make them come true and when she has an idea to share about her love of nature she can’t wait for others to enjoy it. This book helps anyone to realize to always follow your dreams! Great gift for kids as well.

“Amaleigha was a very compassionate 6-year-old. Many said that she never missed an opportunity to help others and that her heart was as big as the world or maybe even bigger.”
Amaleigha Loves a Good Story is another cute story by Janice Pratt. It’s such a sweet read. A beautifully illustrated children’s story that captures the imagination of both young, and old alike.
Amaleigha sets off again, to make more of a difference in her community coming up with another fantastic idea that she hopes will better her local community. She might be little, but she thinks big. And her community are about to reap the rewards of her clever mind.
As with Amaleigha’s other story, this book also inspires the imagination, but also promotes the idea that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. It has a sweet, interesting, and fun plot- with bright and colourful illustrations that will definitely hold a child’s interest. The messages are inspirational and easy for children to understand.
This cute and quirky story was engaging and fun, feeding both the imagination, as well as inspiring creative thinking, being productive, making a difference, reading, and contributing to community.
Happy reading!

My son who is 6 absolutely loved this book. He got to learn so much about the forest around us and we went outside and pointed out things he learned. Amaleigh and the Big Idea was cute and adorable and had many things to teach kids about the world around them! I will be getting the other books by this author!

This was a really good story! For a children’s book it was very inspiring too. I really like the lesson inside this book that says if you have enough determination you can make anything a reality. My daughter is too young to enjoy this book, she wouldn’t understand the message inside or anything really, but I really want to read this to her when she gets older and can understand that she can make a difference in the world if she just imagines and tries.

This was an adorable tale about a five year old that loves to spend time thinking and seems to view the world in a different way. The writer did an amazing job of describing this little girl’s attitude and ability to study and learn from the world around her. The pictures came out great on a Kindle and illustrated her and the world she sees. I love how even though she is only five, she comes up with such a wonderful idea and is able to explain it in a way that she gets everyone on board. It’s a great story that teaches children, just because you are young, it doesn’t mean you can’t have wonderful ideas. I have never heard of barefoot parks and I loved the idea of this. I fully recommend this story for anyone who wants to teach their children that they can make an impact on the world around them.

Amaleigha is back in another adventure. This young girl is a thinker and a problem solver. She is always thinking of others and how she can help. As a lover of books and stories she wants to share that love with her community. She is lucky that she has people in her life that are more than happy to support her and her quests.
With inspirational messages and colourful illustrations Amaleigha’s story will have your child’s creative minds thinking of their own ways of helping others.
This is an imaginative, fun and engaging story that children of many ages will enjoy.

Amaleigha is back with some more big ideas. She is a smart six year old with a heart of gold. She loves to read and visits the library often. One day while there, she notices that while there is a large selection of books for her to choose from, there are not many books in other languages. This makes her sad knowing the bilingual children have to read the same books over and over. An idea starts forming but she knows that she’ll need help to accomplish her goal. This is a terrific book to show children how to think about and help others. I love how the author adds instructions at the back of the book explaining how you can do what Amaleigha did.

I love finding new authors. This is the first book by this author I have read and I wish my children were young enough to also read it. I like how the author brings the characters to life and how down to earth they are. The story was really inventive and creative. I really think that this book would inspire kids and help them learn how to help others. I really recommend this book for kids and believe that it teaches a good lesson.

Amaleigha is a 6 year old with a big heart who likes to spread kindness and LOVES books!! One day she noticed that her library didn’t have a lot of books for kids who speak a different language. So she came up with a plan to solve that problem and she enlisted others for help. She enlisted donations at school and in the community to raise money to purchase more books and make a book box that would be open for kids to get books even when the school and library were closed.

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!

She has become a little role model. I love reading her stories to my grandchildren. She has wonderful ideas and the author always posts tips and items about her ideas in the back. I loved this story. I am a bookworm myself and love the Little Free Libraries. Making a bilingual box was a fantastic idea and she had some amazing ideas to go along with how to do it and get it put together. She knew how to ask for help and to do this. I enjoyed reading the story. It’s fun and the kids are learning while being entertained. It’s also a conversation starter. That’s my favorite item about these books. They open the lines of communication between adult and child. I can’t wait to find more of these to read and add to my grandchildren’s library.

Amaleigha loves to read and visit her school library all the time. It is a great place to find new books and stories but she notices there is a shortage of certain books.
While her school and community have many people who have come to live there from different countries, the library doesn’t have many books for them to read in their own languages. Find out how Amaleigha solves this problem.
Sometimes when you dream, it takes a while for it to become a reality. I have wanted to write books since I was a little girl and fell in love with my home town library. I read books at school, at home, in bed and even in the bathtub. I just couldn’t get enough of far away places, brave heroes and heroines and the experience of getting lost in a new and amazing adventure in each book. Through the years, I became the owner of a preschool, a public librarian, a school librarian and a children’s yoga teacher but no mater what I did I shared stories with children. Finally, at age 62, I have published my first book but I know it won’t be my last. Check out Amaleigha and her big idea!
A girl after my own heart! Amaleigha has a BIG idea. Her ingenuity is infectious! She sees beauty in the world around her and wants to share it with everyone. With a wisdom beyond her years, she incorporates the help of others to create a magical surprise.

This is such a sweet and fun story with an adorable character right at its core. I read this book with my daughter and I could see how much she engaged with the main character. Her inquisitive nature and how much she loved to explore really appealed to my daughter and her own nature.
I think I really connected with this character too as she is so close in age to my daughter. I found myself comparing them as we read through the book – which we did more that once! The whole story was fun and entertaining. This was a great read and I am already looking forward to when we read it again.

Amaleigha and the Big Idea
By Janice Pratt
This is a sweet story that teaches kids no matter their age they can come of with a plan and work for it and accomplish it!
Amaleigha is a very focused 5 year old who loves the outdoors and nature. She came up with a plan and with the help of her family, friends and town made a barefoot park for everyone to enjoy.
I can’t wait to read this to my niece!
Amaleigha loves everything about nature, playing outside, exploring the wonderful world around her- even the tiniest parts (insects), and watching the seasons change. There are many things that I adore about this book! First, let’s start with the fact that I was Amaleigha… Growing up, I was always playing outside, going on adventures, and building things out of items I found outside. Secondly, I love the rich vocabulary that is used throughout the book. As a teacher, I could think of many ELA lessons that could be tied to this book. As a school librarian, I loved the detailed illustrations created by Alina Kralia. Kralia’s detailed illustrations ensure that children can see the wonderful world of nature that Amaleigha loves. Readers can see the changes in seasons throughout the book as they explore the world with Amaleigha. The thing that I love most is the message that even though you are young, you can still do great things like Amaleigha.
This is a delightful book for any nature lover, it makes me just want to get outside right now and explore! I think this book would be fantastic to share while on an adventure with your little one. Take a blanket and Amaleigha’s Big Idea outside to enjoy, then go on a mini adventure of your own. Build a love of nature and books within your child! 🙂
I would give this book more stars if I could because I absolutely loved it!

This is a super cute story. It can be enjoyed by both little kids and adults. It shows how with a little work big things can happen. I think this a lesson that everyone needs to be reminded of every now and then. The amazing illustrations in this book really help showcase the authors words. This book also touches on being seen as weird to others because the main character is wrapped up in what she loves. It shows that just because people don’t see things the same way doesn’t mean that everyone can’t enjoy them. Amaleigha wants to share her love for the outdoors with the world and her big thinking can help get that accomplished.
This is a super cute short read that has some valuable life lessons that everyone can relate to. I highly recommend reading this book to yourself and your kids.

Amaleigha is a five-year-old girl who loves to spend time in her backyard forest. She will sit for hours and watch how the animals play. One day while outdoors enjoying her time in nature Amaleigha comes up with a big idea on how she can share what she loves with others. She enlists the help of friends and family to make her idea become a reality.
Amaleigha is smart, determined and a real go-getter. She might be only five years old, but she has some big ideas that she needs to share with her community. This book is intended for young children, but I feel that it conveys a strong message about the importance of following your dreams, at any age. It also shows what great things can be accomplished when people work together to make them a reality. The illustrations are beautiful, and each scene is so descriptive that the reader cannot help but become fully immersed into the story. A must read for children of all ages!

My six year old and I recently read Amaleigha and the Big Idea for bedtime and she really enjoyed the story. She was anxious to see what the “big idea” was. As a grown adult reading the story, I loved the family relationships and the support, pride and enthusiasm shown throughout. This was a great children’s book with a good message to readers and fun illustrations. I’ll keep an eye out for more from this author!

Even those pesky big brothers 🙂 She is fiercely independent and sees the beauty in all things, big and small, around her. This is a lovely story to share with your little ones!

Amaleigha is a 5 year old who notices things… she takes time to enjoy her surroundings. Amaleigha’s grandma knows she is going to do great things in her life because of this trait – even though her brother thinks it is just weird. So when she goes outdoors, she stops to enjoy the wildlife, the weather, the grass inbetween her toes. Then one day she has an amazing idea- one that will help her share what she loves with the people of her town! With the help of her family, she creates an outdoor space called the Barefoot Park, a place where others can come to feel the nature between their barefoot toes!

by Janice Pratt
This is the sweetest story! It contains the sweetest main character – Amaleigha and it focuses on her love of nature. This story does a great job of showing its young readers that anything really is possible that you believe in. I love that it also builds creative thinking. I have to say my favorite part was the focus of nature. I really think it would have children thinking bigger about the outdoors around them and inspire them to get out and be creative in nature! Great Story!
