mick 's review for:
Saving Sunshine
by Saadia Faruqi
Thank you to NetGalley for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Pros: loved the color palette and the use of color to signify past/present; the way the experiences of discrimination/Islamophobia are shown and the way it causes the characters to be on guard for that; the sibling relationship; the relationship to technology. The illustrations of the night sky were particularly beautiful.
Cons: The way the facts about animals were dropped in felt a little clunky. I’m not sure how engaging the kids in my life would find this. And I don’t love the messaging of kids doing an animal rescue without assistance from adults without any discussion of risks.
