Vivaldi
Bullied and excluded at school, Tyra feels sad and unworthy until a cat comes into her life and things slowly begin to change.
A moving story for any child who has felt lonely, worried, or anxious and found solace in friendship with a beloved pet.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Vivaldi by Helge Torvund and illustrated by Mari Kanstad Johnsen is celebrated for its exploration of childhood's contrasts with vibrant delicacy. The poet Helge Torvund blends verse and prose, capturing Tyra's magic and solitude beautifully. Both the text and bold illustrations create a lyrical and poignant experience that is life-affirming, comparable to works like R.J. Palacio's Wonder. The illustrations are noted for their discernible style, bringing a unique visual experience akin to a whimsical, imaginative feast.
