NEW RELEASE…CHILDREN’S BOOK BY MICHELLE WEIDENBENNER
Hi, I’m Éclair and I’m seven. My sister Meggie is two. When mom got sick we had to go live with Stella, my dad’s mom, the one with maroon colored hair. I begged Dad not to make us stay with her because she beat her horse and was going to eat her rooster, but he didn’t believe me. Even after I pretended I was going to barf, he left us with Stella.
So there we were, Meggie and me, on a strange pink farm with a skinny horse, a mean rooster, and Stinky Stella who had a living room filled with dead deer heads.
What would she do to us?
Would we end up on her wall too?

Review
I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review.
This is a cute book for young children about a girl named Emily Clair but her dad calls her Eclair. Her mom is having issues and has to leave for a while, and her dad travels for work, so Eclair and her sister have to stay with her grandma, Stella, for a while.
Eclair’s fears are typical of what a child might experience when losing her parents and her home temporarily. Stella does a good job of redirecting and helping to allay Eclair’s fears.
This is a good book for any young child to read but especially a child who is having to deal with some type of change.
“Do you want to name her?” Stella said.
I squeezed my eyes to think again. “Star. She looks like a movie star.”
“I love it.” Stella reached up to give me a high-five. “Star, it is.”
