Perfect Picture Book Friday
Natsumi! (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2018) by Susan Lendroth and illustrated by Priscilla Burris is a delightful picture book. I really love the illustrations.
Natsumi may be small, but she does everything in a big way. She’s too fast, too hard, too loud. At least that’s what Grandmother, Father, and Mother say. Grandfather doesn’t say anything at first, but then he helps her find where she fits in. At the end Natsumi is able to make her family proud.
You can read about the author’s other books here and the illustrator’s books here.
Here’s a fascinating look at the story behind the story of this book that took eight years!
