Zinnia is the only pink person in a very gold world. After being told that pink stinks by a golden bully, she goes on a quest to get rid of her pink for good. Along the way, Zinnia learns a valuable lesson. Will she embrace her unique pink, or will she change to be just like everyone else?
Review:
This was a really cute book! I was a huge fan of the art in this book and I especially loved the colors. It never felt like too much.
This is an important story for young kids. Zinnia feels different from the others because she's pink and not gold. She gets bullied for this and it eventually leads her on a journey of discovery.
This book also feels good for little children because of the length. It's short enough where you can hold the kids attention but not too short where it feels over too quick.
This book teaches children that it's okay to be themselves but also not to judge others because they might be different. I found this to be a pleasant read even while not being the intended age group.

Blog Tour: SAVE THE PEOPLE! Excerpt + Giveaway
I am thrilled to be hosting a spot
on the SAVE THE PEOPLE! by Stacy McAnulty Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out
my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!
About The Book:
Author: Stacy McAnulty & Nicole Miles (Illustrator)
Pub. Date: May 10, 2022
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Formats: Hardcover, eBook
Pages: 256
Find it: Goodreads, Amazon, Kindle, B&N, iBooks, Kobo, TBD, Bookshop.org
Stacy McAnulty, the bestselling author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl and the Our Universe series delivers an action-packed look at past extinction and current threats to humanity's survival -- with the ultimately reassuring message that humans probably have a few more millennia in us.
Scientists estimate that 99% of all species that have ever existed are now
extinct. Whoa. So, it's not unreasonable to predict humans are doomed to become
fossil records as well. But what could lead to our demise? Supervolcanos?
Asteroids? The sun going dark? Climate change?
All the above?!
Humans—with our big brains, opposable thumbs, and speedy Wi-Fi—may be capable
of avoiding most of these nightmares. (The T. rex would
be super jealous of our satellites.) But we're also capable of triggering
world-ending events. Learning from past catastrophes may be the best
way to avoid future disasters.
Packed with science, jokes, and black and white illustrations, Save the People! examines the worst-case
scenarios that could (but hopefully won’t) cause the greatest mass
extinction—our own!
Reviews:
“Stacy
McAnulty has done the impossible: Writing a book about mass extinction that is
a joy to read. Save the People is engaging, funny, affecting and delightful.
You’ll never have more fun learning science.”―Stuart Gibbs, bestselling
author of the Spy School series
*“This book is full of dire facts, but it’s not doom and gloom. Its
lively, conversational tone with plenty of jocular asides keeps it
unintimidating and accessible…Lively writing, pertinent science, and an urgent
topic make this a must-read for all.”―Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Cheeky banter wrapped around accessible science, a pages-long time
line, charts, graphs, a bibliography, and extensive chapter notes contribute to
this fresh take on saving our planet."―Booklist
"What could easily come off as an apocalyptic, science-based horror story,
author Stacy McAnulty instead handles with humor . . . backed by thorough
research which is documented in an extensive notes section.?"―School
Library Connection
About Stacy McAnulty:
STACY
MCANULTY doesn’t
think the world will end suddenly, but she does worry about the ongoing damage
to the environment caused by her species. Nonetheless, she believes Homo
sapiens can overcome challenges and reverse course by taking action. Before
becoming an author, Stacy was a mechanical engineer (and before that— like in
fourth grade—she was an aspiring astronaut). Her love of math and science is
reflected in most of her books. She writes chapter books, middle-grade novels,
including The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl, and picture books, including
the Our Universe series, which explores space and the natural world. Save the
People is her debut middle-grade nonfiction. Originally from New York, she now
lives in North Carolina with her family.

lot of time to improving her second language (French), reading and, recently,

Blog Tour: BRAVELY Quick Review + Giveaway
I am thrilled to be hosting a spot
on the BRAVELY by Maggie Stiefvater Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out
my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!
About The Book:
Author: Maggie Stiefvater
Pub. Date: May 3, 2022
Publisher: Disney Press

What if you had one year to save everything you loved?
ONE PRINCESS. Merida of DunBroch needs a change. She loves her
family—jovial King Fergus, proper Queen Elinor, the mischievous triplets— and
her peaceful kingdom. But she’s frustrated by its sluggishness; each day, the
same. Merida longs for adventure, purpose, challenge – maybe even, someday,
love.
TWO GODS. But the fiery Princess never expects her disquiet to manifest
by way of Feradach, an uncanny supernatural being tasked with rooting out rot
and stagnation, who appears in DunBroch on Christmas Eve with the intent to
demolish the realm – and everyone within. Only the intervention of the
Cailleach, an ancient entity of creation, gives Merida a shred of hope:
convince her family to change within the year – or suffer the eternal
consequences.
THREE VOYAGES. Under the watchful eyes of the gods, Merida leads a
series of epic journeys to kingdoms near and far in an attempt to inspire
revolution within her family. But in her efforts to save those she loves from
ruin, has Merida lost sight of the Clan member grown most stagnant of all –
herself?
FOUR SEASONS TO SAVE DUNBROCH – OR SEE IT DESTROYED, FOREVER.
Quick Review:
I used to read Maggie's books years ago. So when I heard that she was writing a sequel of sorts book to Brave, I knew that I wanted to be a part of it. I honestly wasn't too sure if I'd like it, but I was willing to give it a chance.
I did have a bit of an issue with the pacing of the book and found that it didn't always capture my attention, but it was somewhat of a small issue and didn't largely impact what I thought of the book as a whole.
I thought Maggie did a really nice job of capturing the spirit of Brave and Merida. Maggie's descriptions and writing style lend itself beautifully to a book like this and she surpassed what I thought she would be able to do. I've not seen Brave in a while so I'm not too sure how the characterization of the people holds up when compared to the movie, but I liked the people. I thought they were interesting and fun and I'm glad we got to spend time with characters beside Merida and her mom.
About Maggie Stiefvater:
Maggie Stiefvater is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Raven Cycle, the Shiver trilogy, and other novels for young and adult readers. She is also an artist, an auto enthusiast, and a bagpiper. She lives on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley with her husband, two children, and an assortment of fainting goats.
