Beatrice Likes the Dark
by April Genevieve Tucholke
and illustrated by Khoa Le
Flap Copy Description:
Beatrice likes the dark.
She likes black clothes, graveyard picnics, and a sky full of stars.
Her sister, Roo, likes the light.
She likes bright clothes, picking strawberries, and hot, sunny days.
Can Beatrice help Roo like the dark, as she does?
Can Roo help Beatrice love the light?
Or are they simply too different to get along?
My Thoughts:
This lovely picture book not only deals with two sisters who are vastly different, but what they do to build a bridge between them. I love the imaginative way the author creates the girls' differences, while the whimsical illustrations by Khoa Le partner with the text perfectly. What a wonderful book to help children understand the complexities of any relationship. I highly recommend Beatrice Likes the Dark for children aged three and up!
