The Jigsaw Puzzle King by Gina McMurchy-BarberMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.
"Every one of us is like a piece of a puzzle, each one unique, with our own special place where only we can fit. And without every one of us, the picture wouldn't be complete"
Yes, that's so true. I loved listening to this touching and moving story about an 11 years old boy named Warren who with his parents and twin brother moved to a new city which means, a new school and new people who are not yet used to his brother Bennie who actually has Down syndrome. Warren is annoyed by the attention that Bennie is getting and just want to fit in.
This story was so beautiful, it's about love, acceptance, brotherhood, friendship. I hope that this kind of books will be read by a lot of kids and adults so they can realize that every life however it came to this world is worth loving and respecting.
I loved the narrator's voice which was pretty amazing and made the story so much enjoyable to listen to. Also,I liked the author's style and how she tackled such a sensitive theme with such creativity knowing that she also has a sister with Down syndrome.
