Book Review: Anita The Golden Girl

Published Sept 29, 2016 through CreateSpace

Genre: Children's picture book

This is a cute little book about Anita trying to overcome her natural tendencies. She is shy and really wants to participate in the school singing competition. However, she knows that would be too scary for her and everyone else knows that too. Through a little bit of magic, she may be able to overcome her fear and do what she dreams of doing. Maybe...

This is a cute story. The author did use a lot of cliches throughout which were a little distracting for me. However, the story was cute and I could totally relate to Anita. I was absolutely shy when I was a child and LOVED to sing, but never did in public because it was just too scary. Lots of memories flooded back as I read this picture book. The illustrations were absolutely on point. They were cute and well done.

I give it four stars. ****

Anita Hager is a mother of two who lives in a small cozy town in Norway. She and her husband also share their home with four cats. Her imaginative and meaningful children’s stories follow in the tradition of her Grandmother who read to her when she was a little girl. Now Anita reads her own stories to her two little boys at night and has decided to share them with others. You will see her love of animals reflected on each page as well as her dream to help children grow up knowing how special they are. She has created the Be the Magic You Are series of books for children. Books with stories that inspire children to be the magic they are by being themselves and reaching for their dreams. Most of the stories are based on animal characters that combine great stories with great illustrations. Her first children’s storybook, entitled Luke – the Horse who Wanted to be a Unicorn, is about a spotted horse, Luke, who is ashamed of his spots and dreams of becoming a unicorn – only to discover that it is best to be himself. The book is about self-acceptance, which is important for children to learn at an early age. In fact, it’s important for everyone to learn! Her saying is “Be yourself and you are always a unicorn! Be the magic you are!”
