Jo’s Special Gifts is an incredible picture book about autism. From the little boy point of view, the book describes Jo’s likes and dislikes, focusing mainly on all his accomplishments. It is a wonderful diverse story, inclusive and poetic. I love how Mariam Shapera explains the Autism Spectrum and all the helpful suggestions at the end of the book.

Dark poetry for women with an edge.
Love poems with a twist. When I Fall is a book of words and poems that embraces romance and darkness befitting a gothic novel. With edgy thoughts on love, lust, power, and heartbreak strewn into short, bittersweet poems, readers are given permission to feel emotions raw and dark.

The Law of Birthdays is a very smart book about free will and the importance of respecting other people’s choices. Using a simple example of a cake, Brenna Jeanneret illustrates how other people feel when their choice is taken away from them. It is a funny and tender story and the illustrations are truly beautiful.

I love the originality of this boardbook ! It is colorful, it is fun and the characters are really cute ! The child is invited to visit a museum, along with a group of friendly animals. Gigi, an eccentric giraffe, guides the group in the different galleries : between colors and art styles young readers discover an explosion of pigments and artistic themes.

Young dragon lovers will love this extraordinary tale about courage, determination and the power to stay true to ourselves despite the circumstances.
Strong is an inspiring story with beautiful illustrations. I loved the sweet atmosphere and the strong will of the main character. It is a great read to remind young ones how special they are.
