La La La: A Story of Hope by Kate DiCamillo
4.0
The illustrations through this book are beautiful and bring a rich depth in terms of colour and perspective to the story. A girl, whose only phrase involves variants of 'la' as she sings her way through the story, is looking for someone or something to support her. I think Kate's words at the back of the book capture its story beautifully:
'Even if we are small and alone and afraid, if we sing, sometimes someone answers us back.'
Enjoy the play between space and place and take comfort in the fact that although there are times when we may feel lonely, there is always hope that this will always not be so.
