Review: Here's to Your Dreams - Dave Hollis - February 2022 I have to admit, I hadn't done much research on the Hollis family but figured that it was loosely based on Rachel Hollis's now ex-husband Dave, and their daughter Noah. This is a cute picture book aimed at children aged 4-10 years old and it sets the premise of father/daughter dates in the format of fun tea time parties which is such a great bonding experience for fathers and daughters to have.  It wasn't until I went on Goodreads and saw all the 1-star reviews, that I realized there is the controversy behind this picture book and so I want to state my review is written on the book itself and not the father/daughter duo.

Review: My City Speaks - Darren LeBeuf and Ashley Barron - September 2021 This was a cute read featuring a girl who is visually impaired and her father. During their day, he takes her to the park to play her violin. As their day goes along the father and daughter experience the city through sounds at the places they visit and the transport they go on from the buses to the sounds at the playground, the garden, marketplace, and eventually an outdoor concert where our main character is featured. This would also make a perfect read-aloud book as children would love the sounds of the city and features all the five senses. The illustrations are also beautifully put together. The other thing that is awesome about this book is that it was reviewed by a blind sensitivity reader. My City Speaks is perfect for children aged 3 - 6 years old. Amazon : https://amzn.to/2TPN31a
