Join Aya and Papaya on their latest adventures in MQ’s second bright and fun children’s picture book!
Morning has broken and as the sun peaks through her window, Aya gently opens her eyes and gives Papaya an enormous hug. Jumping out of bed and pulling back the curtains, a big smile spreads across her face. Today will be a great day because Aya’s best friend, Samy, is coming to play!
Aya and Samy, with Papaya and Bamboo, decide to go on an adventure to the big castle at the end of the garden. But first, they must be brave and make their way past the big little creatures that live in the garden. As their journey progresses, Aya and Samy learn an important lesson about bravery and being kind.
This was cute, but it felt way too formal for a children's book -- from the storytelling to the dialogue. There was also a glitch in the little girl's speech that I doubt children would be able to catch, so I'm not sure what the point of calling it out serves.
