The Golden Bowl is a sweet story meant for young readers. A little art lover girl is very excited about her dog’s coming birthday, but no gift seems adequate enough for the animal : a necklace ? A decorated dog biscuit with frosting ? A painted bowl ? The latest seems the best gift and Zoya works very hard on her création, sharing color names with the reader in the process.

@roclaverton The Juana and Lucas and Anna Hibiscus series are favorites of mine. My kid loved the former from page 1; he took a little while to warm up to the latter (it is very earnest/wholesome, in a way that I think triggered his oppositional instincts), but now we’re about halfway through reading it together, and he’s been actively asking for more. 😁

@ferrous I never heard of , and I love that it’s a thing! Possibly of interest, fantasy genre, Kaela Rivera’s Cece Rios books — the main character has a “water soul” in a world that prizes fire, and struggles with her family’s/community’s perception of her differences as a “curse.” Also great in (on the cusp of /MG), Sara Pennypacker’s Clementine is a fabulously “weird” heroine. And in , definitely Cece Bell’s El Deafo.

My 5-year-old has just started - I tried her with some Roald Dahl, as that's what we had in the house.

What's good in these days? What should I be buying for her birthday or requesting at the library?

POC girl protagonists preferred!
