Emotions are powerful, and I regard them as the driving force behind the majority of our acts in life. Everyone reacts differently to situations, and Tammy Pickert's book The Magical Falls, illustrated by Trevor Van Hoesen and Koosh Graphics, teaches children about emotions.

The author's niece, Addison, an eleven-year-old with Down syndrome who was born two months early but persevered in the face of difficulty, inspired this excellent book. Addi goes to Pickertville Middle School, and being born as a preemie makes her a little shorter than her classmates. Because the kids had known each other since kindergarten, they all watched out for each other. One day, there was a new girl in her glass by the name of Nuella, who was at first quiet and shy, and she sat close to Addi. Soon, she started being unkind to Addi, and this confused her. The reason could only be known after reading a copy of this book.

This book is appealing mainly because it is an enlightening resource for children about emotions and how not managing them well could negatively impact them. Children often don't know how to manage their feelings; this book is a good ideology. The book would also help them understand the importance of sharing their feelings with family and friends, as it would give them relief. I also commend the illustrators for their wonderful graphic pictures. Addi, as a character, was very friendly despite all odds, and this would encourage young readers to emulate having a kind heart.

Considering the positives listed above, I have no dislikes for this book, and I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. I didn't encounter grammatical errors while reading, which proves careful editing. Lastly, I recommend this book to parents aged between 7 and 15 because it is ideal for them.

The review also commends the illustrators, Trevor Van Hoesen and Koosh Graphics, for their contribution to the book, noting the visually appealing and engaging artwork that accompanies the storyline. Additionally, the character of Addi is portrayed as a beacon of kindness and resilience, serving as a positive role model for young readers to emulate.
