In a world full of negative messages and hopelessness, this book shines through as a beacon of light! I love the focus on staying active and having a good attitude/morals. I also love how friendship between the siblings is promoted in the story. Super sweet book!

Book Reviews from Book 2, On The Right Path

A very simple, relatable tale about unselfishness, consideration, and teamwork that will resonate with young kids. Using common, appealing things like basketball and pizza to underscore the core message will help kids engage with the story, as will the colorful and vivid illustrations. This would make a great classroom read for pre-K through early elementary kids.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
