Thank you to Netgalley and Beaming Books for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
Ping's Perfect Pot is a picture book about a little girl preparing for Lunar New Year. She wants to make the perfect pot for a new tangerine tree. It is about creativity. It is about learning patience, perseverance and the importance of practice. In the end, it shows all the joy and love that can result from creating as well as embracing the imperfections of the art created.
I think this is a great message for children, you don't need to be perfect nor to be the best artist to engage in an artistic hobby. Something that you made with love is absolutely wonderful.
I love the illustrations as well, the style, there were lots of flowers, lots of little details. And I appreciate the explanations of what Lunar New Year is and what are its main traditions. This note can be read by parents to their children and they can discuss or learn about it together.
For ages 4-8.
