Read This: The Sea Hides a Seahorse

If you're like me, you absolutely ADORE seahorses. From their quirky shape to their unique parenting to their ability to hide within plain sight, they are one of my favorite creatures. I was so very pleased to read a new book ENTIRELY about seahorses by author Sara T. Behrman and illustrated by Melanie Mikecz: The Sea Hides a Seahorse. It is packed full of beauty, knowledge, and creativity.

I was so excited to have this new and diverse children’s book to review: The Light She Feels Inside by Gwendolyn Wallace.  

Read This: The Light She Feels Inside

I hadn’t grown up seeing myself in books—and I always felt that absence so deeply, it hurt sometimes. I have never found something that resonated with my inner child so much as this book.
