My Pal Victor: Mi Amigo Victor | Diane Gonzales Bertrand

“Instead of focusing on what Victor cannot do, the book celebrates who he is as a person and friend. It teaches readers to see others for their abilities and personalities, instead of their limitations.“

Bklover Noah is such a sad character. And poor Uncle John, living with all that guilt. At least we have Grampa to lighten things up! 1mo
willaful @Bklover yeah, kind of fascinated by trying to diagnose him. What a strange story. 1mo
willaful Anyone notice how much they call things “her“? We still do it a bit in English but not nearly so often. 1mo
dabbe @rubyslippersreads He was! Thanks for that tidbit! 😍 1mo
ElizaMarie Love how the daddy was so excited to trick his wife. The playfulness and joy of seeing Tom was so adorable. 1mo

Extremely good insight from the lens we opt to raise our family through. Mental health is just as important to care for as physical health and leaning into friendships and mentorships with those who have parented and supported younger generations is extremely valuable. We can learn techniques and habits as a family with a biblical foundation.

This resonated with me. I was glad to find that the author's conclusions are based on scientific data and his experience as a counsellor and psychologist. I expected to learn skills to help me raise our son but didn't expect to also gain insights into how I was raised and how I can help other boys in my life. Recommended.

I haven‘t been doing many individual book reviews lately but it always comes as a surprise to me when I‘m the first to post about a book so I couldn‘t let the opportunity pass me by. All middle graders will enjoy this adventurous series, particularly reluctant male readers who prefer the outdoors, camping, hiking, fishing, dogs etc. (Of note: abusive stepdad). Adults who enjoy a good road trip or nature read will also enjoy this series.
