The Adventures of Qai Qai | Serena Williams
Pickpick

4⭐This is a reminder that you can do anything. A little girl and her baby doll named Qai loved to dance. And they look forward to dancing but worried they might not be good enough. But Qai Qai reminds baby girl that as long as you do your best, that‘s all anybody‘s asking for. This book is lovely. A tad bit obnoxious with always saying baby girl and not giving the child a name. But overall, it was a joy to read little girls are going to like it.

My #doublespin for this month was a book for Ellie‘s (our daughter who will be arriving in May) library. For the rest of the time I‘m pregnant, I want to read children‘s books from my collection and choose my favorites to include in her first library in her nursery 😊 this was my first read and I really enjoyed what a simple, but heartfelt, story it is ❤️

wordslinger42 I was also excited to find a library card on the inside of the front cover with the names of kiddos who had checked the book out. I always think finding things like that in old books is the coolest thing! 2mo
TEArificbooks I recommend Mo Willems to add to her library. The elephant and piggie books are my kids‘ favorite when they were younger. They like them better than Dr. Seuss. 2mo
TheBookHippie @TEArificbooks I second that! My son adored them! 2mo

LeahBergen I adore all of Rumer Godden‘s “doll” books. I just recently reread The Fairy Doll for Christmas. 😄 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! What a lovely thing to do!!! If you are looking for picture books, I always recommend Once Upon a Golden Apple, which I just think is the cutest ever! 2mo

This is an odd book, but a very imaginative tale. It‘s a pretty slow unfolding of events, but not necessarily boring. It‘s hard to pin it to a genre, it‘s mystery, romance fantasy and adventure.

I liked the feminist stance towards the end.

Mrs_B Just realised that is a less than useless review. Apologies all! 6mo
Bette Not at all useless, you mentioned the genres and how imaginative it was, all that is intriguing. 👍 6mo
