"From two-time Caldecott Honor recipient Marla Frazee" over the covers of her books All the World, Bossy Baby, and The Farmer and the Clown... "Discover the wonder in every moment, big and small In Every Life" The text is illuminated with sunstrokes emerging from behind in all around as it shines on above the scent of a child running open armed towards the right in the direction of an older gentleman sitting on a bench. A mother-figure walking behind with a stroller follows the child. Around them are yellow and green foliage.

Extra Ezra Makes an Extra-Special Friend By Kara LaReau, Vincent X. Kirsch (Illustrator) Cover Image

Extra Ezra Makes an Extra-Special Friend (Hardcover)

By Kara LaReau, Vincent X. Kirsch (Illustrator)
$17.99

What a terrific picture book to share to show friendship, empathy and how some people need and want their own "space".  Exuberant Ezra is drawn with pure delight by one of my most favorite creatives, Vincent X. Kirsch, and he injects this story with his trademark whimsy, dazzling colors and warmth of spirit.  First rate!

(Picture Book, ages 4+) - Reviewed by Maureen
