My Review:
Libby the Lobivia Jajoinana is a children's books with a special message about physical appearance. Just because one is a prickly cactus doesn't mean they aren't tenderhearted and just want to be loved. It's a story about acceptance, apologies, and learning to love the skin your born with. I adored Libby's story and send a shout out to the authors for writing such a wonderful book about diversity. We don't all look the same and that's okay!
The graphics in this book are amazing. The colors pop off the pages. The depth of the imagery is aesthetically pleasing and I found myself looking at the illustrations several times. I enjoyed the vivid imagery pulled me in and I suspect children will enjoy them just as much or more. Congratulations to the illustrator for remarkable work.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
