For every parent who has ever struggled to get a kid out of bed in the morning, and for every kid who has ever struggled to stay there!
Milo is a boy who loves to run, and jump, and climb, and laugh, and swing.
But NOT in the morning.
In the morning, Milo doesn't like to move a muscle.
When Milo's mom tells him that she has an important meeting in the morning, Milo PROMISES her that she can count on him. But when the sun comes up, will Milo listen to his Tiny Ninja or will he stay fast asleep?
Milo is not a morning person in the first Tiny Ninja book by Sasha Graham with illustrations by Angelina Valieva, Milo Does Not Like Mornings.
Milo has a great imagination and an even greater affection for his cozy, comfy bed. But there's someone only he can see and hear, his tiny ninja, who will gently help him learn to be more reliable and considerate.
I enjoyed how relatable and entertaining Milo's story is along with the fun conversations it - and the colorful, cute illustrations - sparked when read aloud. I also enjoyed the ending conversation, repeated in each Tiny Ninja book, that lets us know that their tiny ninjas will be with them always.
With several bright and busy two page spreads to play “find the ninja,” this picture book’s illustrations are exuberant and adorable, enhancing this entertaining story. And whether you call it your conscience or a “still, small voice” the lesson of listening to our own little ninjas adds depth to a fun, shareable picture book that was a joy to read aloud with my great nieces and nephews!
Recommended for children (created for ages 4-8) and other people of various heights who enjoy an entertaining story with positive themes and games of seek and find. From the engaging and meaningful story to the adorable illustrations, the Tiny Ninja books by Sasha Graham are a joy to read and to share with children, and I anticipate sharing them many times more.
