So I was lucky enough to be chosen again by Julia Dweck to read and review her newest book Humpfree which is currently on Presale on Amazon and will go live on 10/5.
I love being given these opportunities Since I love reading so much I have no problem reading these wonderful children's books by Julia to my children, and this one Did not disappoint.
Between Tyson, Teancum, and myself, Mikayla has asked us to read this book to her at least 4 times she love's it.
Humpfree Is about a Camel who is having a hard time appreciating his uniqueness because of his lack of humps, He goes through a fun growing and learning experience on each page trying to find his humps only do discover he is a rare valuable breed. The Illustration is Amazingly done by Young-Min Yoon who creates a fun unique illustration of every hump Humpfree finds. Tyson and I both love the moral of the story where
humpfree learns that just because he is
humpless he is not worthless he is unique, and a valued breed! They even have some fun facts about camels at the end that all my children enjoyed learning. Our children will defiantly be hearing this story often as they grow so that they will also know that they are special, valued, and loved!!!
