The One and Only Sparkella | 
pickTatum‘s absolute love for his daughter definitely “sparkles” in this one. Sparkella is starting at a new school and has some issues fitting in—no one understands her personality. Tatum‘s narrative explores identity and being oneself and having the courage to be true to oneself. This #PictureBook would work well for 5-7 year olds. #BBRC #LetterO
LibrarianRyan This is on my list for this year. I am hoping it's good. 5mo
Librarybelle @LibrarianRyan My kid lit professor in library school would hate me saying this, but it was cute. She hated picture books being described as cute. But, I cannot think of any other way to describe it. 🤷🏻♀️ 5mo
LibrarianRyan @Librarybelle There is nothing wrong with cute. It's what a lot of parents seek. It don't have to be fine literature, kids need cuteness. (Can you tell I would probably not get along with your kid lit professor. Heck I did'nt get along with my own). :) 5mo

Librarybelle She‘s the only professor who I did not get along with, @LibrarianRyan . I like the word cute! 5mo
marleed I would say my 3-yo girl-boy grand twins most often request the ‘cute‘ books in my extensive picture book collection. 5mo
Librarybelle @marleed She had such a clinical perspective on books. I don‘t think she ever consulted kids! I still gravitate towards the “cute” books on the shelves! 5mo
