My Review:

🌟🌟🌟🌟

What a sweet festive book!

Four Point Four Stars. No matter what different things we believe or what different festivals we celebrate, in the winter season, the most important thing is to be merry and happy and spread the joy and helpful spirit to all the other people - needy and otherwise. Sweet rhythmic lines with neat illustrations meant for older kids explaining about the happiness of the winter celebrations.

Thank you for the eARC Netgalley.

Possum’s strong tail would help Little Rabbit swing from the tallest tree. Bat’s wings would help Little Rabbit soar through the sky.

With warmth and wisdom, she reminds her little one of the unique traits that make him an essential part of the forest family. Then she gently sends him on his own magical journey to the moon by encouraging him to clos...
