True Friendship

Thank you @NetGalley for this book’s ARC.
I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful little children’s book. The colours are catchy, the illustrations are lovely and the story is gripping too. The faces of the animals tend to become a little weird as the story goes on but I think children will love it nonetheless.

The main characters being a bunny and a fawn reminded me of Bambi and Thumper from the famous children’s story Bambi.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting access to this wonderful book in exchange for my honest review.

I thought this book was just darling. I especially loved the adorable illustrations. If I had a child I would definitely buy them this book. I can see this book being very popular with little children.

Thank you!

Havi’s Trumpet was a good read for my and my children. Thinking it would be a sad story starting off with a goodbye. It turned into an adventure that reminds you to keep trying. If at first you don’t succeed try and try again

An adorable little story of what adults would probably label as a long-distance friendship. The illustrations in the book are absolutely wonderful, and I immensely enjoyed the fact that they weren't your typical cartoon kind of thing.
The story itself is simple, and easy for the kids to follow.

Lovely story about friendship & resilience. Would recommend for primary age children. Could be used in school circle times.

I imagine that most electronic copies are a bit iffy, but the Adobe Digital is just as clear and delightful as any print copy would be. I do feel that in the next book there should be more pages per book to accommodate less words per page for younger readers.
Havi is the bunny who will winter in place and Avi is the deer who must move away with her family until spring. Havi moves a short distance away to make room for his newfound object, learns about snow and winter for the first time, and misses his friend. He also learns that the thing he found is a trumpet and he takes much time to practice until the noise it makes becomes music.
The illustrations by Julia Key are clear, imaginative, with muted pastel colors, and fun.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from BooksGoSocial and the author via NetGalley. Thank you!

A charming little book. The story follows bunny Havi and his friends with their life in the woods through autumn and wintertime.
While I couldn't make too much of the story and (with my logical adult brain) found a few contradictions, I'm sure children will be easily enchanted and captivated by the book!
The illustrations by Julia Key are truly fabulous and magical.
