The paper figures are various animals who all live together in a crowded apartment building with their own interesting apartments to look into as well. Annemarie, the art teacher, has enjoyed reading Edgar and Lucy by Victor Lodato, My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout, and Karma: A Yogi’s Guide to Crafting Your Destiny by Sadhguru. She was born in Seoul, South Korea and studied education technology at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, and animation at the California Institute of the Arts in Santa Clarita, California. I liked the story well enough, though the author’s note at the beginning feels necessary for the story to make some sense when it kind of derails with some rabbits midway through… that part felt like a non sequitur to me. I would strongly recommend having a good supply of yummy frozen treats to eat after you finish reading the story.

Trying in vain to get to sleep, the residents of a cramped apartment building turn on their air conditioners and fans, and leave their fridges open, causing a power outage! The intelligence of Granny and her willingness to share and help make for an unusual folktale of community both nearby and far.Readers will appreciate the fun and a bit different story plus enjoy looking through the pages to see the wide variety of materials used in the illustrations. I loved the characterization of Granny as someone who can solve any problem, whether it is the heat or the loss of the rabbits’ home on the moon.

Again, publisher description says: “illustrated in otherworldly mixed-media” and it is otherworldly for certain.And so on, until Mom’s enticing promise of treasure in the deep sea persuades her little Treasure Hunter to take a dive. It stands tall against a pitch-black sky as we peer into each apartment to gaze at the tenants and their homes. A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum is very interesting story about three generations of Palestinian women, the younger ones now living in modern day Brooklyn, NY.

This means that you are getting something that can feel a bit “sophisticated” and maybe a smidgen “talking down” to the younger reader. This modern, whimsical spin on a classic Korean folktale transports readers with eye-catching, detailed artwork and a magical story .It’s a dystopian novel centering Indigenous voices and issues in a world ravaged by ecological, as well as societal crisis. One sweltering summer night, while the many residents of one apartment building are struggling to fall asleep, the moon begins to melt.
