\nI’m doing something a little bit different today and sending you over to the Horn Book<\/em>. I reviewed Grace Lin’s<\/a><\/strong> A Big Mooncake for Little Star<\/em> (Little, Brown, August 2018), one of my very tip-top favorite picture books thus far this year. (I said that on Friday, too, about this book<\/a><\/strong>, but they are both top-five favorites for me.) <\/p>\n

The review is up at their site here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

And how about that cover art up there? <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome.<\/p>\n
