katebrarian 's review for:
Jabari Jumps
by Gaia Cornwall
This book checks off almost all of the things I like in a picture book. The illustrations are really cute and lovely, the characters are diverse, the story is relatable, the ending is happy and kind of funny, it's got a nice portrayal of a dad taking care of kids by himself (either because he's a single dad or because the other parent happens to be elsewhere)...but it's too nice somehow? Like it kind of gives me Caillou vibes which maybe is just my bias against Caillou showing. And...I did just spend 20 minutes reading through the FAQ and comments on the Caillou website which is a weird place on the internet to get stuck in, but does contain a debate about whether or not children need both a mother and father figure to "fully construct their identity"...ANYWAY back to the review at hand which is that I would recommend Jabari Jumps, it's a good book.
