A review by mcoleman1250
Miracles on Maple Hill by Virginia Sorensen

5.0

This newberry award winner felt like a warm hug. Its simple and sweet and just made me feel so grateful for my personal "maple hill" (pictured is our new yard). I LOVE all the exploration the narrator is having in nature. She is full of wonder and joy! It is a young reader chapter book with some pictures. I feel like some of the harsh reviews on goodreads were from people who were not considering it as a YA book. There are a few moments with some slightly sexist comments, but I think it is good discussion and it is a perspective that this little girl has about being a little girl. I can imagine reading this with my kiddos before bed in a few years :)
A sweet, easy YA to get you out of a reading funk.
