Wow. Are you a fan of Wonder? What about Hour of the Bees or Out of My Mind? Are you always on the hunt for books that speak to middle grade readers about being kinder than necessary, or how to teach kids to be a problem solver in an age where being seen as a good parent equates to do doing everything for the child? Do you want to teach kids to put themselves out there, and that being different means you are unique and that that's a GOOD thing? What about perspective? Do you want kids to know that though the troubles they encounter seem insurmountable, that they are, in fact, "insignificant events in the life of a cactus?" Well, partner, you're in for a treat with this book! INSIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF A CACTUS comes out in September. You will want to read it so you can know what everyone will be talking about. Yeah, it's that good. Middle grade readers won't find fault with the convenient way some events tumbled into place like an adult reader would, and the lessons learned after putting the book down will no doubt stay with the reader long after. Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Edelweiss Above the Treeline and Sterling Children's Books for the sneak peak! ❤
