I’m a grandmother to two beautiful grandchildren who I talk about on this blog all of the time. If you been reading this blog for the past few years…you’ll already know that I hold regular family game nights and reading time with the kids.
Recently received a brand new children’s book to review for all of you and I’m excited to tell you about it today.
Title: Shimmer the Glowworm Finds Her Glow
Author: Shelby Herman
Illustrator: Natalie Kelly
ISBN: 978-1502509536
Book Synopsis: Shimmer the glowworm has a low glow and goes on an inspirational journey to find it. She discovers along the way that helping others find their glow is what makes her glow show and the ME TREE she lives in reflected that all along.
My Thoughts: Shimmer the Glowworm Finds Her Glow is a beautiful soft-cover children’s book my author Shelby Herman. I not sure what the recommended ages are for the book but my 6 1/2 year old grand daughter and 7 year old god-son have no issues reading the book and fully understand the story line and it’s meaning.
As an adult…I love the meaning behind the story and I think it flows nicely from beginning to end. The illustrations that are done by Natalie Kelly are beautiful and very colorful. They definitely grab the reader’s eye.
After Shimmer the Glowworm leaves the cave and heads out on her journey to find her glow…she meets some adorable characters along the way. For example: You’ll meet Ollie the Owl, Cray the Lizard, Kiki the Kangaroo and several others. Personally, I’m an owl lover, so I loved Ollie the best!
To go along with this fabulous children’s book is a Singalong Video on YouTube that you can check out. The video gives you a nice glimpse inside the pages of the book!

It Is a wonderful Lesson to learn!! Love It!! 🙂
The illustrations are beautiful and I Love the message this book delivers. it is also nice that there is a Singalong video on You Tube.
(Shimmer the Glowworm Finds Her Glow – Children’s Book Review) What a cute book this is, I would enjoy reading it to my grandson.
The illustrations that you have featured are so delightful and it sounds like it is an equally beautiful story. I do want to check out the sing a long video with my granddaughter because I think she will really enjoy it.
What a great message with cute characters! I like teaching kids about helping others and thinking of others. Glowworm caught my attention. My daughter had a gloworm toy as a child. One you pressed to make glow. I believe they’ve brought them back now, and how cute it would be to have a nice story to go with it.
That’s a really message in there. Helping others find their glow is what helps you glow. I wonder if there’s a book like this for adults? I know quite few grownups that would profit greatly from a message like this!
Sounds like a great book with a great message! Our son’s nickname is Ollie so I’m sure he’ll love Ollie the Owl!
