Media Reviews
This super picture book written and illustrated by Rebecca Ashdown does a great job at introducing empathy to young readers. It is a fun, colourful read that has a less serious tone then some of the picture books I have shared in this piece and will be a book that makes you giggle, especially the parents. Mimi is the adorable main character who appreciates that parents try but states that they don't completely understand kids. You cant blame them. Its because they've been trained. Mimi has the solution though and believes if you follow her steps, parents will be trained to perfection. However, what if the tables are turned and you have to be a parent? This book is witty and fun but also has a great message of being empathetic. I'm sure it will have made Mimi think about all that her parents do for her and that actually learning together can be a great way of forming positive relationships. -- Filza * Mama Filza *
Author Bio
Rebecca Ashdown (Author, Illustrator) Rebecca was born in Chichester, West Sussex and lived right by the sea for most of her childhood. As the youngest in a family of five, she grew up in a house full of healthy neglect, which enabled her (and her siblings) to spend a LOT of time either getting into scrapes or making things! When she wasn't playing on the beach, she chose (mostly) to do the latter. Drawing and writing was a real passion. She's sure having that creative freedom as a child gave her permission to do much the same in adulthood. Playing is important!
