----------

It has an optimistic outlook with the message that the world is big and sometimes scary but that the good outweighs the bad, that there is always something new to discover and that the sun will always rise again, even after a storm.

Encompassing the themes of nature, ecology, and conservation, The Bubble by Joseph Patenaude is a visual delight! This gorgeously illustrated children's book features colorful artwork from Mauro Lirussi. As a bubble is blown by a pair of children playing, a journey begins for the sentient ball of air. Rising into the sky, the bubble finds itself floating across cities, forests, and seas. Children and adults alike will find something to enjoy as they flip through the pages of this masterpiece.

As I mentioned, this storybook is wonderfully illustrated. The cover image hints at what lies within. It features the giant bubble surrounded by butterflies and trees in a grassy field. The dark blue font displays the book's title in a clear and artistic manner. Mr. Patenaude's writing style is vivid and poetic as he describes the bubble's adventures from one scene to the next. Every illustration corresponds with the text printed on it. There is no offensive content whatsoever, and I did not find a single error.

In addition to the visually appealing images, the story is simple and easy to follow. There are a few advanced vocabulary words that parents may need to explain, but the text is otherwise suitable for young children. I really like the main message in the book.There are also underlying messages about conservation and climate change, but they are not overt or forceful.

Nevertheless, I have chosen to award The Bubble
