Small Saul | Ashley Spires

2 ⭐This book was adorable. Small Saul wants nothing more than to be a pirate. But even after finishing pirate school, he doesn‘t have an easy life at sea. He‘s eventually kicked off his boat when the rest of the pirates realized how good they had it they go back and rescue Saul. While I like this book, I also do not like this book. I love that Saul chases his dream and makes the way he does things work into getting his dream.

LibrarianRyan However, this book shows Saul being constantly bullied by others for being different. And he takes it. He never stands up for himself. So, he is kicked off the boat and when the bullies come back going, oh, we shouldn‘t have done that he goes right back to being their best friends. I think the message in this book does not come out the way the author intended. I think there are two dueling messages one that was meant one that wasn‘t. And while I 16h
LibrarianRyan normally absolutely love this author‘s books, I think this one‘s a mess. This sounds more like a bully story where the bullies win then a story about being yourself. 16h

4.5 ⭐This book is adorable. It‘s about a ghost who instead of being a sheet is a quilt. It makes him move slower, makes them heavier, but it also makes them much cozier to the little girl that picks them up. There‘s another book in this series and I‘m looking forward to it. And the artwork while not completely black and white uses color sparingly so that way our quilt stands out. This book was a top read from first page to last.

TheLudicReader This author lives in my hometown. Her debut novel The Town That Drowned is excellent. She is an accomplished quilter, too. 3w
LibrarianRyan Nice!! I‘ll check that out. 3w

This book would make an excellent lesson on being unique and embracing each other‘s differences. I think it‘d be very good to include some social devotional development with this.

Another gorgeous kid‘s book to add to my collection and a cute story about coming out of your shell and reaching your full potential.
