"From two-time Caldecott Honor recipient Marla Frazee" over the covers of her books All the World, Bossy Baby, and The Farmer and the Clown... "Discover the wonder in every moment, big and small In Every Life" The text is illuminated with sunstrokes emerging from behind in all around as it shines on above the scent of a child running open armed towards the right in the direction of an older gentleman sitting on a bench. A mother-figure walking behind with a stroller follows the child. Around them are yellow and green foliage.

There's Something about Sweetie By Sandhya Menon Cover Image

There's Something about Sweetie (Paperback)

By Sandhya Menon
$12.99

I am unable to put into words how much I loved this book. Each of Sandhya's pervious books are wonderful (When Dimple Met Rishi and From Twinkle, With Love). I read this book all in one night and was so happy with it that I sat down the next morning to write down my thoughts but I felt so intimidated by how much joy this book brought me. Strange to belive, but I just don't think my words would be able to describe to you the sweet happiness, quiet power, and gentle love in this story. All I can tell you is that this book will leave you grinning from ear-to-ear. 

(Young Adult Romance, ages 12+) - Reviewed by Jessica
