Rose Wolves - A Review

I absolutely love my new Kindle book for this week. The illustrations are as rich as a rose and are so wonderful, it's almost as if you're immersed in the story. Natalie Warner did a good job in telling the story without a single word of dialogue, weaving in values of friendship, disabilities and loss in a delightfully poignant and honestly relatable way, drawing viewers into a world of magic, melancholy and companionship. This story honestly gave me vibes reminiscent of The Fox & The Hound, what with two unlikely friends sticking together through thick and thin, and then parting with each other in an emotional ending.
I give this book about ten stars because of how rich the illustrations were and how deeply bold and brave this friendship story was.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kids

PANEL 1:

INT. TIN TIN'S BEDROOM. NIGHT.

Tin Tin is cradling her baby daughter in her arms, wearing only her pyjamas, loving her daughter gently and comfortingly.

PANEL 2:

INT. LIVING ROOM. NIGHT.

A flustered Alan is trying to struggle with his three boisterous kids - one, who is three years old, is drawing on the wall with crayons. The other two, who are six years old, are just as worse - one is crying over a ripped up teddy bear, and the other is running off with its head.

And now for the million dollar question....

 

Waterfall Home Base

This is where the Water Tribe lives. Me, Penelope, Parker, Jeff, Alan, Tin Tin and Brains. That's where the previous generations of the Water Tribe got their name - from living just near this peaceful waterfall. Without our treasured home, who needs nature to guide us? We are happy in our natural African paradise, all soft and gentle, as we play and thrive in our natural world every day. And me? I just love to snuggle near Penelope, a mother and daughter duo are we, just safely snuggled against one another.
