YA book with LGBTQ theme

A moving and heartfelt book on how dyslexia doesn't change who you are or what you've accomplished, and on belonging in a community and in your inner soul.

Good advice on how to let go of trying to control and change other people’s behavior.

This is a most enjoyable book as are all of Smith’s Botswana takes. This book has a couple of interesting story lines, including 2 where things are quite different from what they seem to be initially and one that puts Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s life in jeopardy. There is also a very touching couple of scenes from the Orphan Farm.

Fun colors (and shades) to learn, tabs to pull, familiar objects to point to (and eventually name), we highly recommend this book. Loved it as a board book in late infancy and well into the toddler years.

Although some of the references in her funny stories are dated, I had no difficulty finding her humor to be as witty as it was years ago.

I took this book out because of the title, but, in fact, there was very little to do with a library. The story centers around a boy who goes into library to look up the answer to a question that occurs to him. Once inside the library, he meets strange people and winds up in a strange unpleasant place. The book seems to suggest that all of this happens because he has trouble saying no to people, but that is never further explored. And upon his return home, supposedly after at least several days or weeks have passed, there is no reaction to his return from his mom. This may be better as a young adult read.

This is a book that 1) Uses just the right number of words to say what it needs to, 2) Can tell a beautiful story set in the harshness of a poor community in Ireland, and 3) Can beautifully contrast the very best and very worst of human behavior. In short, this is an amazing book, and I will be reading more by this author.

A touching read on what it means to be yourself, how art can both heal and mend friendships and set you free or hold you back, with amazing illustrations and storylines by a talented author.
