PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Kayla Miller is a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator living and working in New York. They have a BFA in Illustration from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. When not busy working on graphic novels, Kayla enjoys watching bad movies, trying to cook new recipes, playing games (both board and video) and reading other people's graphic novels.
This is a wonderful book for reading alone but like with the others in the series this one would be good to read with parents as it would help to open conversations about wanting to excel, being stretched too thin and burnout. Whether it is the child feeling this way about activities that the parents are scheduling or about the commitments they have made themselves, this book could give them the language to talk to their parents about their feelings. I believe these books are a fabulous way for children and parents to talk to each other about typical teenage issues as they can discuss Olive in the third person which removes the personal aspect from the conversations. * ReadPlus *
