My Day with Gong Gong is a sweetly funny illustrated story for the youngest readers written by Sennah Yee. Released 20th Dec 2020 by Annick Press, it's 36 pages and available in hardcover format.
This is a fun and heartwarming story to read aloud and will have the youngest helping to read it after a few readthroughs. The illustrations by Elaine Chen suit
the text perfectly and lend a happy and whimsical feel to the story. May and Gong Gong might not have too many words in common, but they are learning from one another and discovering that they have a lot more in common than May originally thought.
While not entirely appropriate for bedtime reading (too many exciting and active
bits (including pigeon poop!)), it would be a really superlative selection for afternoon or
post-naptime or reading circle reading activities.
Fun and happy and beautifully illustrated along with some subtle lessons
on trust and support from the ones who love and care for us as well as a few very simple Chinese words with Hanzi (characters).
Five stars. I really enjoyed this one.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
