Shame this book wasn't brought to my attention earlier, because it seems just the perfect fit to gift package we're composed for kids this year. Inspirational, funny and entertaining, from their own point of view. Will shelve it for further reference. Thanks and congrats!

Great job on the review. I liked the illustrations in this book and the fact that the pages are colorful and bright. The positive messages it provides and the character who keeps trying until she succeeds is one that parents should welcome for their children. It certainly does appear to have the makings of a book that will be popular with young children.

I'm moved to know that there's a seven year old who can author such a beautiful piece! The review is brief and admirable.

I enjoyed reading your review, especially the warning for parents about their children doing flips. I can see this book having that kind of motivation for young readers. :tiphat:

Very impressive that a seven-year-old has not only published a book but has also mastered flipping. Cute story!

Thank you for the honest review! I did not realize that a child wrote this book; it is truly amazing. She may have a natural talent for writing books, based on what I read so far. Congrats to the author on BOTD! :)

The fact that the author is seven is so nice and I appreciate her artistic contribution. However, I'm scared that children will definitely want to repeat Ava's moves and hurt themselves.

I wanted to be a gymnast when I was little, and I too spent plenty of time flipping and cartwheeling on, around, and through things in my childhood home, so I can certainly commiserate with little Ava. And that fact that the author is so young?! BRAVOOOOOOO! I'm so proud for this young lady, and am interested in where her authoring career will go.
