* Complimentary Children’s Book Received for Review.

Have you ever wanted one thing – just one thing – more than anything else in the world? A new bike? The newest video game? Tickets to see your favorite sports team? Did you imagine that this one possession would make you incredibly happy – forever? For Benji that one thing is an enormous organ kite. In Benji & the Giant Kite, available August 1, 2018, bestselling author Alan C. Fox tells the enchanting story of a young boy who learns that possessing something is not quite as meaningful as letting it go.

Benji loved purple skies, sunset skies, cloudy skies, blue skies, and kite skies. Especially kite skies. He loves all kinds of kites – big or small, plain or fancy, rectangular or diamond-shaped. He loves to fly them at the beach, but they don’t always seem to cooperate the way he wants them too. One day Benji sees a giant orange kite at the toy store. He wants it more than anything else – ever. But Mom explains that he will have to earn the money to buy the kite. So that is exactly what Benji does. He works very hard to earn the money to afford the giant orange kite. What happens next? You’ll just have to read the story to find out.

Sara’s Thoughts: As a past librarian and teacher, I think Benji & the Giant Kite is a great title to include into your library. Not only is it a quick, simple story, but it also teaches a lesson…you appreciate more when you work for it. More than anything, Benji wanted a giant orange kite, but he already spent his allowance and wasn’t able to afford it. But with perseverance, Benji worked hard to earn the money in order to buy the kite, which made him the happiest little boy. As a teacher, it would be simple to plan an entire lesson around this one story, and as a librarian, you could use this book in your preschool story time to show how important it is to work hard for the things you want.

This is even a great title for parents. Teach your children young to work hard for what they want…to never give up and always reach for the stars. Not only is it a fun book to read with your child, but the pictures are beautiful and eye catching. This is the perfect bedtime story for your little one…or just to read on a lazy Sunday. If you are a children’s book lover like me, then I highly recommend adding this to your library. It will be available to purchase August 1st and can be pre-ordered on amazon.
