What Goes Around Comes Around
Submitted by SarahKate on Sun, 11/11/2007 - 22:46.SarahKate's Notes:
An big hearted Grandmother makes big pots of soup and delivers portions to her hungry friends, for fun. One day her granddaughter accompanies her and is well received… I love the language in the book, I couldn't help going into the accents. All these adults cherish little Isabel and encouraged her to share her own talent – her colorful drawings. She sees that sharing her gifts makes the world a better place. Illustrations are simple (3 color), the story is a long one – 50 pages, the message is outstanding.
