Eugene the bear wants to make friends, but each time an animal approaches he becomes tongue-tied, gets a lump in his throat, looks this way and that way, and just wants to hide! One by one, animals try to befriend Eugene, but it’s always the same.
Lucky for Eugene, his soon-to-be-friends are patient, kind and know just what to do to help him feel comfortable.

Obscura the Cat Sees Beyond is more than a good old-fashioned scary story-it’s a « tail » of cleverness and bravery, and a valuable lesson that sometimes, our fears are more scared of us than we are of them!

I love everything related to Arthurian Legend and am always excited to discover new book adaptations on the subject, especially when it is a picture book ! Sir Morien isn’t a well known Knight of the Round Table, so it is a very interesting choice made by the authors to retell his story.

If you are looking for a fun and fast MG read, The Girl and Her Noble Steed may be the book you need. Heartwarming and full of good feelings, it follows the adventures of a young orphan girl who has a big dream : save her orphanage ! The only way to do it is to enter the Gino Games Race, which can be difficult when you don’t have an animal to ride.

Inspired by a true story, The Promise is a very emotional and heartwarming read reminding readers how friendship is a gift, and how ethnicities or religions aren’t important when it comes to it. The art is colorful, soft, and gorgeous.

Quincy Kadin’s picture book is a personal testimony towards healing. I love how she shares strategies to help other children to work with their anxiety, help them navigate their feelings and feel better. Adhemas Batista’s illustrations are adorable and perfectly transcribe the different feelings of Frankie.
