My Book Review
I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
What a great children’s book! Pinkie McCloud is born a Wingbling which is very special in her hometown of New Skyland. Only 1 in 20 people there are Wingblings, which means they have wings on their head, and they can fly! When Pinkie’s family moves to a new town, though, she is not accepted because everyone looks the same. Everyone but her, that is. She changes from happy to sad and outgoing to shy. And then there’s a big storm. Will Pinkie be accepted after she saves the day?
Pinkie McCloud and How She Saved Ballooze has a good story which teaches children to accept that people come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. It’s told in verse which makes it fun to read and there is a colorful, detailed picture on each page. I think this would be a good (and fun!) book for parents to read to young children. I believe it would be difficult reading for most children in the recommended age range of 4-7.
