MY REVIEW
Zoya wants to make her beloved puppy, Coco, a birthday gift. She tries several ideas until her mother helps her settle on the perfect one.
I’d recommend this to kids around 6 or 7 years old. The story is sweet and fun and inspires expressing yourself with art. The illustrations were colorful and made me want to get out my paints. Zoya toyed with several fun ways to make her puppie’s gift sparkle.

MY REVIEW
It’s a beautiful day and Zoya takes her puppy, Coco, outside to do some painting in the sun. But clouds roll in and rain falls on her artwork so she’s forced indoors. It’s now a gloomy day and there’s nothing bright to paint.
I loved how the author turned Zoya’s gloomy day into one filled with color and sparkle. Yes, everything is better with a sprinkle or two of glitter. A perfect book for the budding little artist in your family.
