Cozy burnt orange tones mixed with cool purples and blues bring to life this tale translated from Spanish. The large-eyed anthropomorphic animals are endearing, and the setting seems both snug (inside Squirrel’s home) and vast (outdoor scenes). Readers who are oh-so-eager to please will hopefully take Squirrel’s lesson to heart.
A necessary reminder that a little assertiveness can go a long way. (Picture book. 4-7)
This is a sweet story and encourages young readers to prioritize and recognize that sometimes you have to set limits. Richly patterned illustrations feature autumn hues and suit the story well
‘Squirrel Has Trouble Saying No’ is a great book to read to school-age children to teach them about setting boundaries and saying no to friends. This book is illustrated by the talented Leire Salaberria, and I adore the beautiful illustrations. From the sweet animals to the enchanting woodland scenes I was drawn into Salaberria’s art style
