5.0 out of 5 stars Readers will Learn about New Zealand Animals Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024 Three animal friends from New Zealand leave the safety of the National Aquarium to find ingredients for an elixir that will cure Peter's (a kiwi bird) ailing grandfather. After escaping the aquarium, they have a wild adventure across New Zealand, facing all sorts of dangers and meeting other native animals. Told in the lingo common to New Zealand speakers, it immerses readers in the culture of New Zealand and introduces them to the flora and fauna of the country. The extensive end material gives more information about the animals in the story and explains the unfamiliar words. Middle-grade readers who are interested in learning about New Zealand wildlife and enjoy animal stories will enjoy this book. I had the opportunity to work with Little RES Q on a visit very recently to Bannockburn School in Toronto. This was the first time I was able to do a reading and presentation for Tamara Turtle's Life So Far that included a visit from Celeste and Turkey from Little RES Q, including a meet and greet right at the end...and it was a big success!
I just know the Grade 1 - 3 students at your local private or TCDSB school would LOVE this visit, and/or a visit for Chloe the Unfeathered Parrot and the Parrot Sanctuary! Please note that, unfortunately, the TDSB has a "no live animals" policy for visits. The extra nice part about including Little RES Q and/or the Parrot Sanctuary in these visits is that part of the visit fee is donated to these rescues and will help support rescue parrots and reptiles. This also applies to the sales of the books...partial proceeds go to Little RES Q and the Parrot Sanctuary! Teena in Toronto
Peter Little Wing has been out for a little over a year now, but I feel like Peter's journey is only just beginning... I was honoured to be a guest for children's author Gloria J. White on her blog in early February. I read chapter one and we chatted a bit about the background behind Peter Little Wing. You'll want to check it out HERE...and be sure to visit every week for new authors and books! I was also interviewed about Peter Little Wing (as well as Tamara Turtle's Life So Far, and Chloe the Unfeathered Parrot!) by Peter Okonkwo on his YouTube channel, P. English Literature. Check back often for more interviews with authors from all sorts of different backgrounds and books from different genres...for now, CLICK HERE to see my interview!
