Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Review for Little Renee of Sunshine and the Everkind Tales
Reviewed by Pikasho Deka for Readers’ Favorite
Little Renee of Sunshine and the Everkind Tales is a children’s short story collection by Gael J.B. Orr. In “A Recipe for Trouble,” fairy sisters Peyton and Penelope are trying to make a whisperberry pie. When their mother starts humming her favorite cleaning day tune, it causes the entire kitchen to burst into song. In “The Naming Tree,” Peyton and Penelope rise above the teasing they receive and embark on a quest to find a wise tree that helps them identify their true selves. When a new fairy moves into their neck of the woods, a young fairy teaches his little sister about the value of sharing, and she ends up making friends with her in “A Glade of Gentle Hearts.”
Little Renee of Sunshine and the Everkind Tales is full of magic and wonder. But more importantly, these stories offer a few valuable life lessons for young readers, highlighting themes related to patience, self-belief, identity, empathy, and kindness. This is definitely one of the best children’s books of the year. I loved every one of these tales alongside the beautifully drawn illustrations that breathe life into the narratives. The characters are so sweet and likable. I think children will find it very easy to resonate with the two sets of young fairy siblings featured in this collection. Gael J.B. Orr has done a fantastic job of making these stories not only entertaining but also emotionally fulfilling. Young readers are going to love this book.
