Spork by Kyo Maclear
4.0
I read a digital copy of Spork, written by Kyo Maclear and illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault, which is definitely not the correct format for a picture book but I've loved the couple offerings I'd read from Maclear before and I was just so tempted by how adorable this looked. Spork is the story of Spork, whose mom is a spoon and dad is a fork--and he's a bit of both! See, so adorable.
His mom and dad say he's perfect just the way he is, but Spork doesn't quite fit in with the others and wishing he could be just one thing. It's a cute story with wonderful illustrations about being true to who you are and celebrating what makes us different. I haven't read a book illustrated by Arsenault before but I really loved the style and plan to look for more from her in the future. I didn't read it to a child so I'm not sure how Spork would go for the intended audience, but as an adult I really enjoyed it and I'll definitely continue to reach for Maclear in the future.
