review:
'Florence & Leon' by Simon Boulerice with translation by Sophie B. Watson with illustrations by Sophie B. Watson is about a pair of strangers who meet over drinks with straws and learn about each other.

When Florence was little, she liked to swim and drink out of curly straws. When Leon was little, he liked to play soccer and drink out of really long straws. That was a long time ago. Now they are grown and Florence has a lung problem and Leon has a vision problem. They meet (over drinks with straws) and learn about the things that are different about them and the things they have in common.

This was a really sweet story. I don't know how interesting the story might be to children, but I found it charming. I liked the illustrations. And yes, all the straws mean something for the story.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Orca Book Publishersand NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
