Head in the Clouds

Sofía is a curious child, she doesn't want to do all the lessons her teacher prepares, instead she wants her questions to be answered even if the grown-ups in her life don't have the time or inclination to do so. Her head, apparently, is permanently in the clouds with the birds and when she decides to share she begins to change the outlook of others for the better.

This is a sweet book with a hint of mixed media in the welcoming and detailed illustrations which are provided by the author. All children have more questions than we, as adults, have time to answer and Sofía is no exception although I'm not sure many of us will have answers to all or even some of hers! The pictures could easily be used as the basis for art activities or looking for answers to some of the questions even if they are quite an eclectic group!

I was able to read an advanced copy of this thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Archipelago/Elsewhere Editions, but the opinions expressed are my own. This is, as a reading book, very short and would be more suited to reading with an adult rather than independently, but it has far more to it than that. I thoroughly enjoyed this and the opportunities it offers.

I absolutely loved this book. My only note would be that the font was a bit hard for my older son to read, but it matched the illustration style so I understand it. I love that it shows that children are big thinkers with big feelings and big questions. I recommend reading it with your littles!

The illustrations in the book are beautiful and interesting. They are very different from other children's books. This book can help open up dialogue for questions children may have.

I appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
