My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟
A Heartfelt Lesson in Fairness and Compassion
Four Point Three Stars
A heartwarming story that beautifully explores empathy and justice through the eyes of a child. Ly-Lan wants to buy a book of The Adventures of Pizza Head, but she also wants to make sure that her friend in school gets a book by herself.
Good description of the Vietnamese family too as Ly-Lan’s parents try to teach her the importance of empathy and kindness.
The audio story was beautifully narrated, capturing Ly-Lan’s spirit perfectly.
Lovely relatable tale about sharing and understanding others.
Thank you for the e-Arc audio story Netgalley.
