Who's Looking? — a Best Book of 2022 (Canadian Children's Book Centre)

 Was absolutely thrilled to see Who's Looking? How Animals See the World, illustrated by Cornelia Li,  named a Best Book of 2022 in the Canadian Children's Book Centre's Best Books for Kids and Teens 2022, Fall Edition. It is included in Science books, which is especially cool.

Amazing review of Who's Looking, How Animals See the World in Canadian Children's Book News!

"Will delight readers of all ages...A magical and wonderful story that is not only accessible but enjoyable for readers of all abilities. This is a rich addition to the abundant genre of animal books as it offers a new and engaging perspective that will appeal to the inquisitive nature of primary school children." From the Fall 2022 issue of the Canadian Children's Book News . 

The reviewer not only likes the book, which is wonderful, but understood exactly what I was going for and how Cornelia Li, the illustrator, enhanced my vision and ‒ as far as I'm concerned ‒ improved upon it!
