My Sweet Boy is a lovely story with great illustrations. It is about a mother and her well mannered, kind son and both myself and my 5 year old son loved it.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for my ARC.

Cute book with cute illustrations. It unfortunately rubbed me the wrong way when it mentioned being a good child and staying quiet.

My Sweet Boy is a very cute book for parents who have boys. I would love to know if you have a girls book like it. I have a great nephew who it would be cute for…. When he is a little older.

The artwork/illustrations in this book are phenomenal. The diversity is wonderful. This book celebrates little boys for empathy, caring, sharing and kindness---things that aren't often celebrated in boys. I also loved the way the mother comforts the little boy. This is just a sweet, beautiful book. Loved it.

This book is so cute!!!!

My poor heart!

The artwork is so good and the colours used are just perfect.

It's the story of a well-behaved boy who's just being himself and just being a kid. I love how the book focuses on understanding adults.

Love it.

Thank you, BooksGoSocial, for the ARC.

The pictures in this book are adorable! The rhymes are cue and flow well. It's a story about a mother's love for her sweet little boy. It talks about some of his good qualities as he is kind and a good friend. This is a cute book. The art is definitely a highlight for me!

What a sweet book! I teared up reading this book because it was so sweet and full of love!

The diversity in this story was great! That was the first thing that stood out to me while perusing the beautiful illustrations. I could definitely see teachers using My Sweet Boy during various lessons throughout the year. For instance, it could be used to intro a poetry lesson and students could point out the rhyming words on each page. It could also be used during a lesson about similes and using descriptive words. And even better, it could be available for students when they just need to feel a touch of love during the school day!

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

This has a very positive and affirming message for young boys. I especially like that it highlights skills and traits, like empathy, sharing, and gentleness, that aren't always celebrated in boys. This is a great story to really explore how wonderful and valuable those things are.

The art is just gorgeous as well! It's so bright, colorful, and vivid. It will definitely hold kids' attention and features a great diversity of characters so that lots of young readers can see themselves on the page. The story is told in verse, but sometimes word choice and meter are tweaked to make rhymes, so give this a pre-read if you're planning to read it aloud as there were a couple of stumbling points. This would be a lovely bedtime read for a quiet, sweet, and loving wind-down.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

My Sweet Boy is a nice book about a well-behaved son. The mother is the narrator of the book, and shows many instances where her son is helpful to others or kind. Simple writing, but flows well. Good illustrations.
