Kika the Upside-Down Girl
by Jessica Tudos
My Review
In a world of normal, Kika dares to see it differently, much to the exasperation of her parents. They throw up their arms in frustration, urging Kika to be like the other kids.
The reason for this, Kika is an upside-down girl. Whether reading a book hanging upside-down from a tree, or walking to school on her hands, Kika loves to be upside-down.
Sad that her parents are unhappy, Kika is filled with glee when she discovers a place where she can be herself. A place of flips and handstands, somersaults and swinging.
Now her parents throw up their hands in excitement and Kika’s upside down world is right side up.
The glossy, colorful pages are filled with wonderful illustrations of Kika’s escapades and the story has an important message.
Kids will be encouraged by Kika’s adventure, dare to dream and find their own place in the world.
An exhilarating story for children and parents. I’d encourage you to read this with your child and watch their eyes light up as they see themselves as Kika.
