I'll hug you more

There are so many opportunities during the day for a good hug! When the days starts, when we read a book, to say hello and to say goodbye, to say thank you and good night. And tomorrow we can find ever more opportunities for more hugs.

Flip sided book full of beautiful illustrations you feel like touching, and calming rhymed text. Ideal for a bedtime story, right before a huge hug. 

I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Flora and the Flamingo

by Molly Idle

Flora is so sweet. Flamingo is so elegant.

Flora gets closer to him. She imitates him.

They meet. They agree. They disagree. They communicate in a beautiful danced friendship.

Flora and the Flamingo is different from many picture books I have read. It's simple and beautiful. Wordless, the story is told through the body language of this two adorable characters. It made me feel like dancing!

There are two more books in this series: Flora and the penguin (2014), and Flora and the peacocks  (expected publication May 2016). I'm eager to take a look at both of them.

Age range: 4 to 8 years old.
