Mummy says: This is a beautifully written story about friendship through hardship. It explores grief and sadness, and although it is short and covers quite a bit of ground, it reads very calm and "quiet". A lovely find, and I'm sure we'll return to it.
Toby says: The Big Wave was about scariness, happiness and sadness. There was a little boy called Kino and his friend Jiya. They lived on a volcano by the sea. One day, a big wave came and smashed people's houses, and people died. Jiya's Mum, Dad and brother died, so Jiya went to live in Kino's house. The boys were happy before the big wave came, but then came the big wave and they were sad. Sometimes, things are scary, but you still do them. Sometimes, even just living can be scary, but if you have friends, then you might not be so scared, but you might still be a bit scared.

Toby says: "I really enjoyed The Little Prince. It was all about a person who could draw boa constrictors, and he went on a plane, and he crashed in the Sahara desert. He saw a little prince there. He told him the story of how he got to planet Earth. It's about if you see an ugly person, but you know he's really nice, then in your heart you'll see a beautiful person, so what your heart sees is more important than what your eyes see. But this didn't happen in the story, but there were lots of examples about what's really important in life, like people and friends and living and love and being happy." Mummy says: "I think Toby said it all on this one :) " |
