Review by Lanie Mores, Author

Wings and Whispers: Tales of Friendship, Volume 1 is a captivating book that brings its readers on an ecological adventure through six fun chapters, focusing on a cast of fun-loving forest friends and different challenges they encounter. The overall theme is one of encouragement and keeping a positive mindset. Through interconnected stories, the narrative promotes emotional growth for young readers by exploring topics like following your dreams, trying new activities, patience, coping with self-doubt,

perseverance, the importance of kindness, putting aside differences, and living harmoniously with others.

My favourite parts about this book are the illustrations and characters. Each page is gorgeously illustrated with a rich, vibrant colour palette, delivering a true visual feast that both children and adults will enjoy. The characters-Evie, Thea, Eric, Daniel, Alex, and so many more-are sweet, charming, and very relatable. And I loved the inclusion of fun, scientific facts and new, complicated words with a glossary of terms at the end of the book to help expand a young reader's knowledge and vocabulary. Educational and fun, this book is a great one to add to your child's book collection or to an elementary school library. I look forward to seeing the future volumes in this heartwarming series.
