Review: Five Little Dumplings - The Real Easter Story

Five Little Dumplings: The Real Easter Story book cover on blue background

I was so excited to learn about Five Little Dumplings: The Real Easter Story by Kelsey Chen, a new-to-me Chinese Christian author, just in time for Easter. Thank you, Liwen Y. Ho, for introducing me to the Five Little Dumplings! It's such a treat to read children's books again and to recall all that I learnt from my library days about what goes into a well-written book for younger readers. This book definitely checks those boxes 😊

Book Thoughts

What an engaging and helpful book for children to better learn about Jesus and Easter! This interactive book presents different skill-building activities for children to keep their attention, such as identifying colours, numbers, and patterns. The rhymes are simple, the illustrations are eye-catching, and the story is delightful in this educational book. The Bible verses included make Scripture more familiar, especially when paired with corresponding images. The dumplings are an adorable way for little readers to celebrate Easter. This is a book that is eminently re-readable as it can help with Scripture memorization, making the Little Dumplings a series to keep an eye out for as they go on various adventures.

Things I'm Not Supposed to Do

It's interesting to discover what people should be and shouldn't be doing when they share about books online. More and more, I feel like there can be a backlash against anything now, to the point where anyone with a passion for books can feel paralyzed in offering their own bookish content. For the large part, I try to tune out these things because it's ever-changing, and if it's not one thing, it'll be another. I'm sad when people feel stifled due to these capricious "rules" that half (if not more of) the time seem to keep people from excitedly engaging in what they love most. I'm thankful that I've received immense support from the reading community when I first started out, so I want to encourage anyone who is thinking of jumping in with their personal approach to books by sharing how I practically break the following ten rules covering things from content generation to materials access: I'm not supposed to use Canva for my book posts.  ...

Review: Entanglements - Finding Ever After #2

Last week, I shared about the first novella in the Finding Ever After anthology. I'm grateful that I was able to borrow the second novella in this book, Entanglements by Rachel McMillan , from Kindle Unlimited. I wish I could read the other half of the collection; however, I'm glad that two books exist out there to access! Book Synopsis Nic Ricci is a North End piano tuner and part time math tutor who wants nothing more than to compose; but there are few pennies to be found and an ailing father to support. When a well-paying opportunity arises as a rehearsal pianist for a wealthy heiress giving a recital at the Boston Conservatory, Nic grabs at the chance. He does not, however, anticipate a beautiful, intelligent woman frustratingly accompanied by a chaperone and promised to a brute of a fiance. Esther Hunisett is trapped by her father’s poor business decisions, her dowry and future attached to a man who will save her family’s estate. With little to barter before her life is ...
