Unwrapping the story
This story takes place inside the imagination of a little girl. She pictures a lovely, colourful island where thousands of colourful birds reside. She enjoys the company of the many animal inhabitants, plays games, takes time to read her favourite books, and gathers beautiful flowers. The reader is not forgotten and is invited to join her, only if you know how to dream.
The illustrations are lovely and detailed. They enrich the sparse text. The story is a celebration of being yourself and encourages readers to ignite their imaginations because when you do anything is possible. The story is very short and without the wonderful illustrations would have been flat. I did not think the book was that dynamic. I am not sure how well that age group would connect to it therefore I only gave it 3 Hugs!
Storywrap Rating - 3 HUGS!!!
