A delightful and inspiring tale, Mayva' O'Meere, Creationeer, tells the captivating story of a young girl who follows her passions and stays true to herself. With majestic and fairytale-like drawings, this book beautifully illustrates how to learn from your mistakes while also highlighting the powerful qualities of creativity and imagination. The prevailing theme of not letting mistakes get you down and following your inner talents, passions, and dreams is an influential message for those who may not fit into a traditional societal box. With thoughtful and beautiful rhyming throughout, Mayva O'Meere is sure to charm both young and old readers alike. Trade out your Disney princess books for Mayva O'Meere, and your child will learn all about passion, dedication, resiliency and authenticity through this sweet and creative book! -Kelli McCarty, Toys with Intent, Marriage & Family Therapist, School Counselor. In my house, we are huge fans of Andrea Beaty books like Rosie Revere, Engineer and Ada Twist, Scientist ; happily, Mayva O'Meere, Creationeer picks up in the arts where those ones leave off at science, technology, and math. Kristin Pierce's first book, Your Inner Compass That Could , is about following your heart and being true to yourself even when it's challenging, and that theme plays into the story of Mayva, who does some soul-searching of her own after her creative urges see the car painted in honey. The book is in rhymed verse which makes it a fun, easy read, but the vocabulary is elevated, which I always appreciate in a children's book. No word is too challenging for a child when used in context. In the end, we see Mayva as a grown-up, and she's realized her calling is not just to create art, but to create a space where others can find their calling, too. She speaks about learning from the honey-decorated car mistake she made as a child and tells that everyone is bound to make a mistake or many, but that it's all part of the journey. Ain't that the truth. The book also includes some reflection questions that will help your child process the message for themselves and invite conversation, as well as an art reference guide which Petra is surprisingly into. - Maygen Kardash
