REVIEW:

Good day my Friends!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I’m spending some time reading. I have a recommendation for all of you. If you have children, grandchildren or occasionally like to read a children’s book then you should consider Willa and the Way Home. It is such a lovely story.

Willa is a puppy and I love puppies. It is moving day to a new home for her family and she chases a butterfly right out of the yard! She has a grand adventure and meets some new friends along the way.

This is a really cute story and I think all children will enjoy it and the characters Willa meets during her adventure. Parents and Grandparents just might be reading this book several times. I have read it a couple of times myself. Willa has grown on me and I am hoping to read the series.

Willa and the Way Home by Jennifer Moorman was illustrated by Julianne St. Clair who did a fabulous job on the illustrations. The cover is a clue to what you are going to see throughout the book. They are so bright and vibrant. They will surely draw a child’s attention and create some good conversation.

If you love children’s books and have young ones in your life, I highly suggest a copy of Willa and the Way Home. I love this book and you will too. Suggested ages are four to eight years. I guess I’m still a kid.

Until next time, Happy Reading!
