My Thoughts


The day we received Kathryn the Grape, Josiah knew exactly what he wanted to read at bedtime. He was immediately drawn to the bright purples and pinks. Once we started reading the book, Josiah was in heaven with all of the illustrations and, of course magic!

Kathryn faces real-life challenges that definitely hit home for other children- monsters under the bed, trying out for a team, starting school, etc. Josiah actually had a nightmare the other night about a monster in his brother's closet and he will be starting preschool this fall so, this book will be helpful through all of these situations and worries. With some help from Maggie, Kathryn's magical butterfly and a magic wand, "POOF! Just Like Magic" Kathryn can face her problems head on!

It's a wonderful story and encourages children to meet their own challenges without fear. Everyone needs a little magic in their lives, too. I was reminded of The Little Princess and the quote,"All little girls are princesses"! All children are magical and special in their own ways and sometimes they just need to be reminded. Children from ages 3-8 will definitely enjoy this book.
