If you crave a raw and devastating psychological mother-daughter thriller, this will keep you guessing, analyzing, and reading compulsively.
Two prior generations of mothers give the backstory for Blythe’s venture into parenting her dark and intense daughter, Violet.
Fans of Gone Girl or The Silent Patient will likely enjoy this book.
A warning: there are many triggers here and uncomfortable topics are explored. Wait for the ending; it will give you chills!

Toddler parents, this book is for you! Growing up is hard. Tantrums are normal and (good news) they are learning how to handle those emotions.
This book gives you strategies to reduce the frequency, length, and severity.
It also helps you, as a parent, understand that you might not be helping the situation. Parents will learn how to handle things in the stressful moments and what can be done in the future.

Betita’s life is turned upside down when her Papi isn’t there to pick her up from school. She later learns that there has been an ICE raid. Her father was deported to Mexico, separating him from Betita and her pregnant mother. When Betita and her mother try to visit him at the border, they end up getting detained and sent to a family detention center outside of Los Angeles, California. During this horrifically trying time for her and her family, Betita turns toward her love of poetry (and the book is fittingly written in verse.) The knowledge that her Papi has told her over and over since she was a young child--that she is a crane, descended from the Aztecs of Aztlan, and the land that they inhabit in the Southwestern United States is in fact, their promised land. A heart-wrenching but necessary read.

This is a beautiful picture book filled with soft illustrations that subtly deliver the message of appreciating differences and fostering inclusivity.
This gentle story of children coming together to build hot air balloons in many different ways and many different styles is a wonderful reminder that we need all types of people in this big, beautiful world.
Whether it is the bold, the ready to act, the quiet thinkers, the teachers, the dreamers, the ones who prefer to work alone, or the ones who are happiest in a group, each has a wonderful contribution to the project and together they fill the world with color and beauty!
