The illustrations were what first caught my eye in What’s the Trouble in the Forest of Kerfubble, written and illustrated by a married couple named Roger and Jennifer Sulham who have been together for 22 years. But after reading it, the words are equally engaging. I just wish my niece or nephew were still of age to enjoy a book like this because I would love to give it to them as a gift.
I always enjoy reviewing children’s books as the holidays approach. Books were such a part of my growing up, I don’t remember ever having been without them. Although it has been argued that my mom taught me to read in self-defense, I don’t ever remember learning how to read, I just did.
This past weekend I had the pleasure of participating in the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books held at UCLA. This particular event is awe inspiring as an author to see the number of people all excited about books.
I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t Dan Marvin one of the reviewers for the LL Book Review? Of course his book is going to be reviewed. It’s an obligation isn’t it?
I first ran across Will and the Soaring Seed while reading some posts on the Lulu Promote Your Book Forum. I was not actually looking for books to review, but doing some research prior to drafting a post promoting the Where in the World is Misfit McCabe? project, which is featured here on the Lulu Book Review under the WITW is MMC tab. As I was reading through the multitude of posts plugging authors’ work, I read a post by author and illustrator Devin Boone and his description captured me enough to click the link to take a look at the children’s book he was promoting. I was glad that I did.
