Reviews

it was amazing

This Tilbury House Treasure is my 2019, to be released in August, favorite book of the year so far. The Buddy Bench by Patty Brozo and illus. by Mike Deas is a gem. Written in a beautiful lyrical voice, with perfectly complimenting illustrations, this pairing shares a story of inclusion. There are children left out, who just want to be heard, but are too shy or different or scared to ask. They all come together, their differences aside, to do a citizen project that benefits all. Kid tested and approved, today's library group of kids asked about making their own buddy benches at their school! A picture book to be read aloud again and again and will be one I purchase for my own personal book collection!
