Perfect Enough, by Kelly Artieri (Elk Lake Publishing, 2020, 38 pp, $9.99, ages 6-10)
What We Liked
A difficult situation - two children live with Grandma but Grandma has to go to a nursing home and can no longer take care of the grandkids so they are sent to a foster home. George misses his grandma and, after another foster boy tells him he can't stay with his new family if he's not perfect, George runs away to try to find his grandmother.
But, not to worry, all ends well. Just how, I won't reveal but the kid in you will love this book as will your kids and all the kids they know.
Oh, and George has a big sister, Isabella, so girls as well as boys will like Perfect Enough..
What We Would Have Changed
George is a little boy yet his grandmother is 92. That is a pretty old grandmother! Did the author skip a generation? And George has curly blond hair - quite rare. Finally, why did the other foster boy say George had to be perfect or he would lose his foster family?
However, we do love this little book and so will you! The plot will keep you guessing.
