A review by miocenemama
Elves on the Fifth Floor by Francesca Cavallo, Verena Wugeditsch

4.0

This is a very cute book about a family with two moms that move to the city of R when their kind of family becomes illegal where they live. They arrive shortly before Christmas only to discover that the city of R is not quite what they expected. Things take a frightening turn for the moms after their family agrees to help some of Santa's elves because the neighbors don't like the commotion and don't believe their story. I love the diversity and inclusivity in this book. I also love the message of girls as heroes and inventors. This is a book I will share with my grandchildren
