Almondine: The girl from the almond tree by Gabriele ZucchelliMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book reminded me so much of the movie "Arrietty" by miyazaki and those old magical stories with little fairies. It was so cute with the beautiful illustrations that made the story so charming to read.
The story is about an eight years old girl "Alma" who finds a little baby girl in an almond and names her Almondine. From this point of the story we are the witness of how a little girl could cope with such a heavy responsibility of taking care of a baby. Alma's life and comportment will change with this little creature that consider her now as her mother.
The thing that I didn't like about this book was the behavior of Alma's parents and her mom was so annoying with her critical attitude towards her daughter's change of behavior.
I'm sure that this book will be loved by many little girls and it will also inspire a movie for kids.
