Pearl by Molly Idle
5.0
A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book was absolutely stunning! I loved the style in which each illustration was created, as well as the colours used. (You can see some examples from Amazon.com of what the interior looks like here, here, and here!) I seriously had to take a moment to admire each page after reading the words, wanting to take in every little detail. I generally enjoy visuals of underwater scenes, but the illustrations in Pearl are definitely at the top of my favourite list (and I will also be keeping an eye on this author)!
The story itself also clicked very well with the style and colouring of this picture book. Pearl teaches readers, young and old, about the importance of the small things in life, and that even small responsibilities can be very very important. This book also spoke to me about not dismissing something too quickly because it seems unimportant. Life surprises us in a number of ways, and I think that Pearl depicts this effectively and beautifully! I recommend this book to readers of all ages!
