pickThis book was so adorable! I love all the little veggies, and I can't wait to read the next one!
pickAdorable juv graphic novel about an anxious little garlic bulb who‘s brought to life to help her witch mother in the garden. When a vampire comes to town, the other animate veggies elect her as their defender.
Includes lessons about judging a book by its cover, finding your own path, being brave, & how to be a good (& a bad) friend — & a good (& a bad) parent. Delightful produce puns made me laugh aloud. I‘d willingly read the next in the series!
Tomorrow is the October meeting of my children‘s fantasy book club at the library. As an icebreaker, I like to start with a themed personality quiz and then we all share our results.
I‘m particularly fond of the quiz I found to match the tagged book this month. If you‘re happy to waste a few silly moments, you can take it, too! It‘s…unique. 😅

“The city is busy, loud, and scary. But Nana makes it feel like home.”
This story follows a young boy who initially feels overwhelmed by the noisy, crowded city but learns to see its beauty with the help of his Nana. In the classroom, the book is useful for discussing bravery, perspective, and family support. It can also spark lessons on setting, encouraging students to describe places that feel overwhelming or safe to them and how their feelings might change over time.
pickIn Nana in the City, the illustrations are soft yet bold, with warm colors contrasted against the darker, busier tones of the city. Castillo uses texture and line to create both the intimidating energy of the urban setting and the comforting presence of Nana. The organized shifts in color and composition mirror the child‘s journey from fear to appreciation.
