The Lonely Sunflower is a fast read with simple, cartoon-like illustrations done by award-winning artist Kasey Short. The pictures accompany the text nicely with their soft earthy tones.
What I Like: I love that this story was written by a nine-year old. How exciting! How fun! Big kudos for her! If I were able, I'd do a happy flip for her. I hope she continues to follow her passion. Other children with aspirations to become writers may be inspired to see such a young author in print. I'd pick it up for my classroom just so my students could see IT CAN BE DONE.
What I Dislike: The connection between the Bible verse and the story is a bit vague. But it’s still insightful for a child author. Some readers may find it a little pricey too, but it's available in Kindle for a better price.
Overall Rating: Good. Good job, Julia!
Age Appeal: Publisher lists 0-8. I'd lean more toward 4-8.
