BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: SEVERAL
Lucien is a little boy who is very frequently worried about when things change: new food, new friends, new school, etc. In fact, he would be happy if he could always stay safe and secure in his room and nothing would ever change again. But that all changes for him when he meets a magical animated fire ember named Seraphin who shows him the wonders of the natural world through all the different seasons. Maybe change isn’t so bad?
I liked how Lucian demonstrated his character growth over the year as he explores the world with Seraphin. The colorful illustrations were wondrous and magical. I think it will resonate well with younger readers, but I don’t think the upper elementary grades will like it as much.
