Review: This is a children’s book that focuses on teaching one very important message. It’s done very well and gets the point across very clearly. I liked it. Some children’s books, I find tend to try to teach too much. So it gets a little confusing whats the message, the book is trying to get across. Not in this case.

The main message; don’t treat people as if they are invisible. Can also teach a big range of other things too, and leads to other things. Children who think they are ‘invisible’ can have so many emotional issues. Or can lead to other underlying issues. This is going to get a little dark but ‘If I am invisible, no one will notice if I am gone’. You may not think it a huge issue but in reality its one of the biggest. So the main message taught is so important.

Right moving from that depressing thought. The illustrations are very simple and very well done. They pair well with the story being told. The book is short which can also be viewed as another good point. Some children’s attention span/patience isn’t very long. Hell my attention span is rubbish. So short is good for helping keep the message/story simple.

Would I recommend it? Yes, very much so.
