pickSuch a sweet book about a girl named Unhei who moves from Korea and is trying to fit in. Her classmates and teacher‘s kindness help her see that her name and heritage are not something that will keep her from making friends in her new school.

pickA fun inspirational feel good middle grade read. I loved the multiple perspectives, the themes of kindness, and its realistic feel. What wasn't realistic was how focused the kids were on dating and the occasional cringy dialogue (“flat“ being one cringy word I didn't like). I'm also mad Jack didn't get an award at the end. But otherwise a good read.
pick4 ⭐ This book sounds like Kristen Bell. It does have a co-author in Benjamin Hart, but it feels like Kristen Bell. The woman you see in interviews, in movies, on podcasts. This feels like her. The book is mainly about being yourself and helping others and the more you do that the more purple you become. That we are all better together when we help everyone else out. I love this. It‘s a nice concept. The idea is there. I think it‘s presented well.
pick4 ⭐ Susan Verde and Peter Reynolds are a bestselling team for a reason. Their books are colorful and heartfelt and have an important message that all kids need to hear. The message in this book is that “I am me” no matter what. That everyone is different and that‘s exactly the way it should be. That everyone is unique and have the things that make them special. And that no matter who you are or how you look or how you act I am me and you are you
