Bubble Wrap Girl
Izzy Magee gets bumps and bruises when she does the things she likes--chasing her brother, dancing in the kitchen, and riding her bike. Getting hurt is a hang-up for Izzy, so one day she decides to cover herself in bubble wrap. Her plan works like a charm… until the bubble wrap gets in the way of doing the things she likes. Eventually, Izzy realizes that getting hurt is part of life--and she isn't going to let it get in the way of having fun!

Okay, so I illustrated this book. So, my review isn't going to be 100% impartial! But let me say this, I've illustrated a lot of books in my 40-year career that were not a lot of fun to work on. But I knew the first time I read the manuscript of Bubble Wrap Girl that it was a great idea and wonderfully written! I had a great time working on the art, and I think any reader will have as good a time with the book. (An added bonus is the subtle message that life requires courage and rewards it!)

The nightmare of scrapes and bruises takes a somewhat silly twist and travels down a great lesson.
Izzy loves to play like any other kid, but she hates to get hurt. And it seems like that happens all the time. When she has an entire week of one little bonk and fall after the other, she finally decides to take the problem head on. Her parents cover her bubble wrap for the next seven days. Although she is safe, things might not be as perfect as she'd hoped.
I had to smile when I saw this book, simple because we knew a couple once, who had covered every corner and edge of their apartment in bubble wrap to protect their child. Izzy is a cute, energetic girl who plays like a pro but suffers all of the small accidents that come with an active life. It's easy to understand her frustration as the scrapes and bruises mount. None are fun to experience. The bubble wrap solution comes a bit out of nowhere, but the experiences she has are giggle-worthy...and teach a lesson as well.
The illustrations are sweet and accompany the story with the perfect flow. It's a nice read for kids who are sick of getting hurt.
I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed reading this enough (giggled a few times) that I wanted to leave my honest thoughts.

I enjoy reading this book to my daughter. The message is good - it's ok to try new things, it's ok to fall. Just get back up again and don't let your fear hold you back from something exciting!
