ABOUT THE BOOK:
Everyone in the village is scared of the deadly elephants that roam nearby. Everyone except for Yaley. So, when King Norman takes her brother along with all the other men in the village as prisoners, Yaley sets out with the elephants and the women of the village to get them back. But how can a small girl triumph against an empire?
A tale of courage, bravery, and the power of love.
MY REVIEW:
Yaley is a book about strength and determination. The book shows that if one's mind is on a specific goal that you can achieve it, if you believe you can. Yaley, the main character of the book, is such a girl. She becomes a leader that a whole village needs. I loved that "love" was the answer for everything! I admired her courage even in the face of diversity. Something we should all attest to.
One thing that bugged me was the written sentences went back and forth from black and white. That is distracting. However, the illustrations in this book were fantastic. I love that cover! I felt like I had stepped back in some of the villages you might have seen in a copy of National Geographic. The colors were brown tones, green tones, and some yellows and blues. Even though the colors were muted, they stood vibrant and engaged me, the reader, more into the story.
I would recommend this book for children who have a good grasp at reading or for story time. The book's overall message is spot on!
4 1/2 stars! Get those sentences fixed and this would pop up to 5 stars!
