Book Rating
Roxy the Raccoon: A Story to Help Children Learn about Disability and Inclusion by Alice Reeves is a book about Roxy who is disabled and needs a wheelchair and what her life is like. 

This heart felt book for ages 4-8 shows children that there are ways to include a person who can not walk or stand, in their games and life, and how to be creative in finding ways around obstacles.

Roxy the Raccoon is differently-abled and cannot do the same thing as some of the other animals in the forest but with a bit of thought and working together they are able to play together and hang out and see and do the same things. This beautiful story shows how Roxy's friends make her feel included. The illustrations done in watercolor and are eye catching. A stunning book for all children.

I received an ARC from Jessica Kingsley Publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

I give this book 4.5/5 stars.

Book Rating
Riley Can Be Anything by Hamilton Davina is a wonderful book and illustrations that shows children being able to see themselves in the books they read. Riley is spending time with his older cousin Joe. Joe asks Riley what he wants to be when he grows up; however, Riley can't decide. Joe tells Riley about all the great career opportunities that others in their family have had, like chefs, musicians, or teachers. Riley really can be anything. I really liked this book about the ability for young Riley to be anything he can.Young Riley imagines and dreams of all the possibilities for his life with the help of Cousin Joe. A great story that shows that Riley is only limited by his ability to dream of big things he can do and be.

The rhyming pattern will appeal to toddler age children, but the story is complex enough and interesting enough to hold the attention of early readers and elementary students.

I recommend this book for anyone teaching children that their dreams are only limited by themselves.

Growing in God's Love: A Story Bible

Growing in God's Love: A Story Bible by Elizabeth F. Caldwell; Carol A. Wehrheim is an illustrated book that pays attention to quality and detail. While it says it is a book that children can read, I believe it should be read to children.  I am impressed with this book, the wording, and I like how it is designed to be interactive between adult and child with three simple questions at the end of each story.

Most of the stories are between one and two pages counting the illustrations and three questions and start at the beginning of the Bible in Genesis and through the old testament and then into the new testament. The verse location in the Bible is given under the story title.

The author did a great job of covering Bible topics in a way that children can understand but in a way that adults can gain a blessing as well. 

I received an ARC from Westminster John Knox Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
