Ever since I found Chester by Ayano Imai at my local library, I’ve been obsessed with it. I keep borrowing it again and again, and looking for it every time I go to used books stores. So far no luck, but the interlibrary loans have come through again. This week, I received Forest Dream.

This week, let’s travel to the West Coast and it’s magical forests with the book West Coast Wild Rainforest, by Deborah Hodge and Karen Reczuch.

Last year, around this time, I shared a beautifully colourful and impactful book: Time Is a Flower, by Julie Morstad. I’m really excited to share another one of this illustrator’s book today. This time, let’s dive right in A Face Is a Poem.

Every time I pick up a book by Jan Brett, I am amazed at this author-illustrator’s work. Let’s jump right in The Three Snow Bears.

I was so excited when this book arrived through the interlibrary loans because I’ve admired Cassandra Calin’s funny and relatable comics for years now. Let’s have a look at her graphic novel The New Girl.

Once in a while, a book makes its way to me through the interlibrary loans that I don’t remember ordering. It is part of the magic of libraries that just the right book finds you at the right time. This week’s book is one of those. Let’s have a look at The Wildwood Elves by Anne-Marie Chapouton and illustrated by Gerda Muller.

And the fascination with Briony May Smith’s books continues! I just love her work so much! Let’s dive right into Mermaid Moon.

Halloween is coming, and I couldn’t resist picking up this adorable book by one of my favourite illustrators, Briony May Smith. Let’s have a look at Witch in Training written by Michelle Robinson.

If you’ve looked through the different book reviews on this blog, you might have picked up that I love a good fairy story.

This week, let’s have a look at Ella’s Night Lights, written and illustrated by Lucy Fleming.

I went to my favourite bookstore, Brome Lake Books, a few weeks ago. Of course, I didn’t leave empty-handed. Let’s have a look at Tiny Jenny by Briony May Smith.

I love stop motion films because they are such a feat of skills and patience. From making the dolls, to all the decor pieces and animating everything: it just feels like magic! That’s why I was so excited to find The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox from Rizzoli New York.

I got this book at the beginning of Spring, and finally got around to read it. I’m so sad I waited so long! The Jellyfish by Boum is an incredible graphic novel that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.

Yesterday, I received Berry Song by Michaela Goade from the library. I was so excited about this book because I remember reading and writing about We Are Water Protectors a while back. I was astonished to see that already three years have passed since that book review! At the time of reading that first book, Berry Song had not been published yet, and I was very much looking forward to it. Well, here we go, and it was well worth the wait!

A few months ago, I took a comic book workshop with the amazing Julie Rocheleau. The other participants were such amazing artists, and many of them already had established careers. It was very humbling and inspiring to discuss with such incredible artists! One of them was Félix Girard, and I finally received one of his book through the interlibrary loans. Let’s have a look at Le village dans la mer.

If you are looking for a lighthearted and funny book, look no further and grab a copy of The Moose Belongs to Me, written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.
