Flying High
I personally loved the book, I think it showed the loneliness children experience over insignificant things very well, and the illustrations were very bright and detailed, presenting the different emotions each page focused on incredibly.

I personally love this book. The way it highlighted the fact that just because you can't read, it doesn't mean you can't learn. The young girl was determined to learn to read as nobody else in the village could except one person, and that is very inspiring in my opinion. It is a very good book to read for children 7-9 as it teaches very good lessons. I would encourage people to read this particular book as it is a very good read. 9/10 :)

Grey
Grey is a children's book about a boy who feels lost and grey in a world filled with bright colours. The book describes the feelings of sadness and isolation. The story reminds people that it's okay to feel grey sometimes.

The Invisible Story
The Invisible story is a very interesting book with a great moral. The initial start of the story was confusing but as you progress into the story it does get a lot better. And that's when you also get the main point and moral of the story, and illustrations are a big part in this story as it gives the reader a lot more information on the moral and in general just makes it more interesting, and fun. So overall this story is a very eye catching one because of its colourful illustrations and deep meaning.

I Love Books
This book is about a girl who hates reading books, until she finds out over the summer she has to read a book . Her older sister brings her to the library to get a book , she couldn’t find one that looked interesting, her older sister recommends her one . She reads the book and falls inlove with reading books . It’s shows us that reading isn’t all that bad you just have to find the right book.

Clever Crow
At first I didn’t think it was that interesting, but as it got on it got more and more interesting, because it started to show all the different species of birds.

I Love Books
I love books is a very good book for 3-10 age groups. It starts off with somebody who doesn't like books and is inspirational for some children that do not like to read because not all books are for everyone. It shows that you need to find the perfect book for you. Overall I give it an 8.5/10 because it is an inspirational and creative book for young children.

Grey
I think the book Grey is a great book for children who have strong emotions and it conveys how it’s important to express and talk about your emotions to other people and with the bright and unique pictures, so overall is very suitable for children aged three to five because of the rhyming words, vibrant pictures and understandable story.

Grey
This book is very deep for some kids who don’t find the colours they need in their life I feel like it’s also a message for parents to check on their kids and give them the love and colors they need overall I think it’s a wonderful book and the illustrations are so meaningful and creative and show what the books really means. It’s really nice how it started with only grey then the colours gradually came in so I would encourage kids to read it

The Invisible Story
The Invisible Story is a book that shows you how everyone in the world is different and and it is fine to be who you are. They've described this brilliantly.

Flying High
Flying High is a wonderful story about feeling different & being included. It is about a young boy who is smaller than the other children in his village, and one day when he flies his kite & the other children say he ruined their day, his bird best friend, Wawa, shows him that everyone is different. It is a beautiful story about diversity and I would recommend it to anyone that is upset because they feel different

The narrative follows the journey of a young boy and his bird wawa wasn’t a facing the challenges of pursuing their dreams. It offers a sense of hope to readers who may feel discouraged by life's obstacles.
