Another book from the Picture Book Top 10 of this year that immediately stood out for us and that the little monsters also grabbed when they saw it is The Girl at the Front of the Class. This picture book is written by the remarkable British author Onjali Q. Rauf. We've already read it aloud several times because the monsters love it so much.
They can easily imagine how unhappy you are when you suddenly have to leave your flee home and experience all sorts of danger. How terrible it is for a child to suddenly lose sight of their family and friends. Living in a foreign country where people speak a foreign language and having to go to a school where you don't even know how things work. Truly awful!
A touchingly beautiful story that ends cheerful becomes even more beautiful with accompanying illustrations, and this book has just those! They were created by illustrator Pippa Curnick and they're gorgeous! Check out her Instagram for more information about her work.
3 cheerfully shining stars for The Girl in the Front of the Class, from the young listeners and their out-loud readers!
