Reviews

"Nalvana is a bundle of creativity, spunk, and determination--readers will be happy to know her."--Kirkus Reviews


". . . [A] book kids will clamor to read, even as they learn terms like 'anaana', 'inuksuk', and 'panik'. That's its superpower."--School Library Journal


". . . [W]ell-written, [and] heart-warming . . ."--Quill & Quire


". . . Nalvana's superpower is not one of the athletic or other overt skills that are normally so admired in our current society...Aviaq Johnston has made her story one of inclusivity, not exclusivity."--CanLit for Little Canadians


"Overall, what a lovely, heart-warming picture book! Nalvana's story is one of sharing kindness, holding onto one's own kernels of hopefulness and determination, and the excitement in finding your own happy and cool discovery along the way."--Fab Book Reviews


". . . [A] very sweet story that encourages children to rethink how they evaluate success . . ."--The Book Wars


". . . [A] fine story of self-inspection."--Midwest Book Review
