NEW Kids Picture Books: Day 22

Hattie & Hudson by Chris Van Dusen
May 2017. 40 pages.

From Amazon: "Hattie McFadden is a born explorer. Every morning she grabs her life jacket and paddles out in her canoe to discover something new on the lake, singing a little song on her way. When her singing draws up from the depths a huge mysterious beast, everyone in town is terrified — except Hattie, who looks into the creature’s friendly, curious eyes and knows that this is no monster. So Hattie sneaks out at night to see the giant — whom she names Hudson — and the two become friends. But how can she make the frightened, hostile townspeople see that Hudson isn’t scary or dangerous at all? Chris Van Dusen brings his colorful, perspective-bending artwork to this satisfying new story about acceptance, friendship, and sticking up for those who are different."

My thoughts: I looove Chris Van Dusen's work. This book has a great storyline to go along with the beautiful pictures, encouraging kids to stand up for what they know is right, even if adults don't seem to agree.

Recommended Age: 4-8 years
