Review Quotes
"Utilizing lyrical language, Anand offers a lovely, thought-provoking sentiment about appreciating one's surroundings and persevering through unpredictable, scary circumstances. Kara's realizations and spirit will inspire readers facing challenges in their own lives. Redwood's lush, pleasant illustrations portray expressive, anthropomorphic trees and beautiful forest backdrops in mostly dark hues. Some feature artistic details like human figures swirling in the sky. An engaging nature tale that emphasizes themes of resilience, bravery, and respect for the elements." - Kirkus Revews
"In this beautifully illustrated book, Ritu Anand tells an elegant story that offers powerful lessons: courage, humility, the ability to adapt to changes and challenges. The stunning colors of the illustrations enhance the story in a wonderful way, making KARA'S DREAMS a delightful gift to young children. I highly recommend it."
