#ReallyRandomFebruary Day 9: Critics or adults can wax lyrical about this being a feminist book – but I prefer to regard it as a subtle portrayal of a young girl froglet who has a quiet understanding of her worth, knows intrinsically that she is #talented, and is unafraid to share it with the world – even if it means ‘drawing attention to herself.‘ My review of this lovely picturebook today on our blog: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ltS

“The biggest mistake Pokko‘s parents ever made was giving her a drum. They had made mistakes before...Like the slingshot.”

And off the reader goes on a grand adventure with Pokko who, after being told her drumming is too loud, goes out into the forest & discovers that it‘s a little too quiet & could use a little more music. Gorgeously illustrated book about perseverance, friendship & music. Recommended.
