I'm a father of three young kids and have read literally DOZENS of tall piles of board books and picture books over the years. From those hundreds of visual tomes, I can count on both hands the number of books that I and my kids still talk about today.Quality children's books such as "Rainbow Fish" or "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" or "Stellaluna" are few and far between. Additionally, children's books tend to be WAY overpriced are simply too forgettable.Not so with Queen-a-Bella.This is a charming little story that will initially engage your children, yet it also contains positive messages your child will grow into regarding the power enduring friendship, perseverance and acceptance.Incredibly, the author packed all of that into a book with less than 20 pages and 800 words.Did I mention the awesome artwork??? The characters are richly and consistently drawn, they are vibrantly colored and the images beautifully complement the story - any child will love reading this book!
