#Falling Cinnamon @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Cinnamon Girl by Lana Dal Ray

“ROAR!”

This book could be used to begin a discussion or activity on the students expressing themselves and finding their identity.

The illustrator uses fonts and text size to represent the loudness and feelings of the main character. The text exploding outside the borders of the text bubble resembles him venturing out of the metaphorical box he‘s been put in by other animals in his community.

“...where he went completely wild!“

I would use this book to talk about being your true, authentic self even if it isn't viewed as “typical“.

The illustrations in the story changed color based on the mood in which the tiger was feeling. When he was stuck in the city, the colors were gloomier and when he was in the wild they were all very bright, conveying the joyful feeling of the story.

I would use this in my classroom to start the day or just a fun craft or during a lesson about being yourself .

“Now, children, please do not act like wild animals.”

This books pictures are structured then slowly bust out of the bubbles and change as it follows along with the story I personally loved and enjoyed the progression.
