Blueberry Girl by Neil Gaiman
A picture book, in the same style as Dr. Seuss’s book Oh, The Places You’ll Go, shows us a prayers of parents towards their soon to be born daughter. The imagery in both illustrations and word choice gives a heartfelt connection for all parents reading this wonderful book.
What I enjoyed most about this book was how it reminded me of my daughter, and what I wish for her life. It also reminded me of my parents and how they still take care of me today, and the wishes they have for me into adulthood. This book is a gem for young and old alike.
