Becs gave 3 stars to Butter (Hardcover) by Asako Yuzuki
bookshelves: audiobooks-podcasts, reviews
Sensational audiobook narration, but overly repetitive plot which quite frankly just left me feeling hungry (in plenty of different ways!) on a regular basis.

Becs added 'Rainbow Breath'

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 13:10:30 -0700

Becs gave 3 stars to Rainbow Breath (Hardcover) by Maya Shleifer
bookshelves: arc-s, childrens-books, reviews
A clever approach to developing positive coping mechanisms in children with anxiety or stress; this book plunges little readers into an exploration of colour to find a way to utilise breathing techniques and the beauty of the world to centre yourself again.

It’s a big ask - tackling big feelings in this way - but it’s done reasonably well and the approach is, to me anyway, quite novel which I really appreciated.

The illustrations were not spilling over with beautiful colours though, or the calming beauty of nature that I’d hoped to see. But all the same, the sentiment is very nice and I really appreciate encouraging young readers to see mental health and ways to support your mental health as a positive, normal thing to engage with.
