review:
'The Red Suitcase' by Giles Baum with illustrations by Amandine Piu is a picture book about packing up and starting over.

This book follows a young alligator as he packs up from his former home, which is stormy, and moves somewhere else. The journey may be long, and things may be strange in the new place. Courage is needed, but there are also rewards.

I've read that this is about the journey of refugees, but there isn't much to go on besides dark weather in the old place. The illustrations work, and it's a short read. I just think the message that the authors think they are conveying will be lost.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - words & pictures, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
