The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be | Joanna Gaines

so-so

3 ⭐ This book is fine. The illustrations are soft and dreamlike and while the story does rhyme and does have a cadence, that cadence is soft in areas. The story‘s about how everyone‘s different and that is perfectly OK because everyone is who they were made to be. I like the message in this book and overall it works well. But to me it‘s only so so.

The World Needs More Purple People | Kristen Bell, Benjamin Hart

pick

4 ⭐ 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.

LibrarianRyan It is overly long. Something more used for school than Storytime necessarily. I think this book is well done with the speech variables versus the words of the story. The illustrator Daniel Wiseman has done a fantastic job. This book is fun from beginning to end.
