My Thoughts
Numerous children’s books show and celebrate families of many kinds doing their normal family things, which can also vary greatly! I love it, and I love reading all of them to my daughter. Peeko the Penguin Looks for Love by Olivia Ana Bester is such children book that depict the diversity of family love life, and also show what really makes a family—love and care. Very sweet story about the real child worries of not feeling loved by his own parents. Debut picture-book author Olivia Ana Bester creates a story featuring diverse modern families that children will recognize from their own direct experiences. She keeps the text closely focused on Peeko’s feelings. This book really captures the windows/mirrors/doors theory of children’s literature. Reading this to a class of elementary students could be beneficial to them in many ways. This may be beneficial to read to students after reading the book to really emphasize that Peeko’s family is just like any other family even though it may appear different to Peeko. Peeko the Penguin Looks for Love is definitely worth a look.
Peeko the Penguin Looks for Love by Olivia Ana Bester An important and encouraging read for all kids and parents.
Highly Recommended!
