review:

'My Dearest One' by Monisha Vasa is a picture book to be shared with young children. While I think some of the terms might be over a child's head, the affirmations seem calming and make this a peaceful going to bed book.



The intentions of the book are for setting intentions, gratitude and compassion, and while the language is a bit flowery, I think it could be a good book for parents to share. The pictures show a parent and child elephant throughout the day, and the pictures are nice. The affirmations may be more for the parent than the child, but that's probably not so bad either.



I liked it, but I didn't love it. Certainly a children's book can be touchy-feely, but it was a little too much for me. I also tend to think a book for young children should be something they can kind of understand. You may feel differently, of course.



I received a review copy of this ebook from Smith Publicity, Balboa Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
