Book Review: Adorable Story Gently Teaches Young Children
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a gentle story, beautifully illustrated, about growing up and finding the place one is meant to be. The story of the white kitten Violet and her siblings teaches us that we each have special talents and gifts, and although it may take some trial and error, if we keep seeking, we will find the perfect place to use them. Talking with young children about the story will provide parents opportunities to help them discover their unique gifts/talents/skills, to build confidence, and to set them on that lifelong path of seeking. Plus, it's an adorable story!
Summary of Violet Comes to Stay (Mitford for Children, Book 1)
No Mitford collection is complete without the Violet booksViolet Comes to Stay is the first in a series of storybooks inspired by Cynthia Coppersmith, Father Tim's wife from Jan Karon's bestselling Mitford Years series. Jan Karon's legions of fans will love this timeless story about the endearing white kitten named Violet, charmingly written by Melanie Cecka and beautifully illustrated by Caldecott Medal-winning artist Emily Arnold McCully. Karon searched for three years to find a storytelling voice and art style authentic to Cynthia Coppersmith. She was personally involved in every step of the creation of this book.
In Violet Comes to Stay, Violet's search for the perfect home leads her to a plant nursery, a bakery, and finally a bookstore-the one place where the gentle cat isn't expected to be a mouse hunter.
