BLOG TOUR: Scribble & Author by Miri Leshem-Pelly

Title: SCRIBBLE & AUTHOR          
Author: Miri Leshem-Pelly
Publisher: Kane Miller Books
Pages: 32
Genre: Picture Book  

Scribble & Author is written as a dialogue between the main character, Scribble, and the author who created her. 

Scribble's journey starts on a peaceful shore called THE BEGINNING, continues to the rough, adventurous MIDDLE, and leads finally to the gate of THE ENDING, but it’s not at all what Scribble expected… Scribble is a scribble and Author is an author, but who really gets to tell the tale?

A picture book about finding your own voice, making your own decisions, and writing your own story.

Review: This is an adorable little story.  It's a conversation between a cute little Scribble and the Author who created her.   We learn about the beginning, middle, and end of the story, and we see Scribble overcome her fears as she travels the path. 

The illustrations are well done, with plenty of obstacles for Scribble to overcome, and with actual art supplies shown creating/removing the obstacles. 

I look forward to sharing this story with my grandchildren.

Rating: Five stars
