BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
In the middle of the night, Finn had a great idea! They tried to tell their brother about it, but Oscar said to go back to sleep, so Finn did. After dreaming about it, and thinking about it on the way to school, Finn was able to share with their best friend. As the day progresses, the idea grows as does Finn's excitement. A bully tried to put doubt in Finn's head, it worked. Finn put the idea away for while, but maybe getting it back out and sharing will do the trick.
I liked the message that ideas grow and change, and that sharing helps them evolve. Finn is non-binary, and I loved that the story wasn't about that, that Finn is just a regular kid. I was expecting a big idea reveal at the end, and was disappointed there. It may be too vague as an independent read picture book.
