I rarely review books by self-published authors, but when I saw the covers for these books, I made an exception. These are board books that have a particularly sunny and cheery point of view. Each of these three books takes a subject and then spends time exploring many facets of it. Blanket will surprise readers with a touch of humor and then ends with bedtime. Pets talks about a wide variety of pets and ends with an emphasis on connection and love. Yard, which is my favorite of the three, explores what children will find in their own yard as well as some of the wonder of wider nature.
The illustrations of the books are done in a flat, friendly style where everyone is happy. Filled with bright colors and done very simply, the illustrations are just right for the toddler or infant. The books are written in rhyming pairs that work well, making reading aloud easy.
A particularly successful series of self-published board books, these books speak to the quality of some of the self-published work on the market. They have a nice blend of modern illustration and timeless subjects. Appropriate for ages 1-3.
