Pearl by Molly Idle

adventurous inspiring fast-paced

5.0

Review:

I love Molly Idle’s artwork in any children’s picture book I’ve seen! As for the story, I really enjoyed the lesson Pearl learns in taking care of something that she thought was less than what she hoped to care for. I loved that you could see in the pictures that her mom was there watching over Pearl as she cared for the single grain of sand. I also loved that Pearl decided on her own to watch over another grain when the first grew into something great!

Summary:

Pearl watches the other mermaids of the sea care for so many things in it & wants to care for something too. But when her mother gives her only one grain of sand to care for, Pearl is disappointed to not be trusted with more. Until Pearl discovers that there’s something special about her seemingly simple task…
