A Place to Grow by Tim Fox, Tim Fox
5.0

This is a charming, heart warming story that is filled with adventure. Tracy is a fantastic heroine character and a great example to all little girls. She is kind, thoughtful, sincere in her dealings, and makes friends with animals. Her sidekick Kitty is a fun addition to the story and the interactions between the two of them throughout the book were silly and sweet. 

I have a 9 year old daughter that enjoys everything this book has to offer. Tracy learns new skills and tries new things, proving that with determination, you can set your mind to anything, which is a great reminder for young and old readers alike. 

I love the way Tracy faces each day with joy and excitement, and making the best of life as it comes. This is something I value in a book that my children are reading, I think we need more positive and uplifting stories in the world. 

I believe this book does a great job of embracing that not all families look the same and that’s ok. This is a great book for animal lovers and adventure lovers, especially if you enjoy a book with found family, and a strong female lead.
