This sweet and positive picture book tells the story of Lilah, a little girl who is happy and confident. The illustrations are colourful and interesting and help tell the story. The font is large, but a bit hard to read at times, especially when it is over top of the illustrations. It is a nice picture book that I could see young readers enjoying. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this book!

This children's book feels like a very positive one. Spending a day with a little girl called Lilah, readers get to share in her many fun adventures.
It's a rhyming story so it flows really well too. It's a little longer than some children's books so I don't feel it works as a bedtime story but it's a lovely one to read during the daytime.
The illustrations are bright and colourful and it's a very joyful and positive story which I think a lot of people will enjoy.

The cover and its vibrancy is the precursor for the illustrations throughout, as well as the overall tone of the story.
The book is 100% sunshine, with no complaining: three meals a day, a mom, a dad, and a kiss when tucked into bed. Also, the child plays happily with her dog. Of note, Lilah is illustrated in one scene left-handed. I did have an audible reaction with that's cute and a giggle 'bubbles are light and airy, and I imagine some of them carry a small fairy'. This tickled me as I have always wondered about the fascination with bubbles.
I was struck by the perfect life depiction, and found myself wondering who would I gift this to, and the answer is I don't know. My biggest fear would be callously picking this up and having it just handed out to anyone. Perhaps you know an appropriate recipient.
