Lulu the Beaver by Bethany Gano, Bethany Gano
5.0
I received this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review
I love childrens books because they always aim to send a positive message in the most simple yet creative ways, something you don't usually find in adults books. This one talks about Lulu a beaver who, unlike other beavers, doesn't like chomping trees or building lodges. Lulu wants to be an artist but she thinks that the "typical beaver" doesn't have to do anything besides building in streams so she hides her talents. But at the end, and with the help of her friends she was able to find her true voice, what she truly wants to do in life and not what others think she has to do. And this is how you teach kids that they should embrace their talents instead of hiding them to "fit" in society and to live to other people's expectations. Love it!
