The intended purpose of this story, showing kids that people with a different amount of melanin are still ordinary people who think and feel the same as they do, is noble. From a technical standpoint, the poetic prose is pretty, flows well, and will appeal to the intended target age group. I would like to applaud the artist behind the beautiful pieces in this book! Very well done, this is gorgeous.Īs for the story itself, I'm of two minds about how to rate and review this. The Nightingale's Song is a beautifully illustrated rhyming story about a child dreaming that they suddenly look different, but nothing inside has changed and they are still the same person. Thank you to all involved in affording me this opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest. I was granted a complimentary review copy of The Nightingale's Song via Silver Dagger Book Tours as part of my participation in a blog tour for this title. Balsara, as Goodreads requires one account per pen name.) (Andrea has a second Goodreads account under A.T. It is my hope that as you read my stories you will feel the excitement that comes when you reach for the stars!
I believe We ALL have our own treasury of ideas and possibilities, that there is no limit to who we (YOU) can become. I write between genres, and for different age groups (from picture books to young adult), and even switch between illustrating and writing. My stories and art come from questions I have, or ideas I want to explore…kind of like digging for buried treasure. They may be weary and lucky to be alive (thanks to me) but they are able to see that the sun still shines, and that the stars are always there, even when you can’t see them. By the end of it, as they emerge blinking in the sun after the long night, they decide that life is good.
The characters and critters that inhabit my stories get put through all sorts of mishaps and adventures. I am a children’s author and illustrator, and a hopeless optimist about the goodness in people…especially in children! My stories and art reflect my belief that we are all ONE (yes…you too!) and that no matter where we’ve come from, we are linked together.
