PreS-Gr 1—Lily's parents travel the world for work, and whether by bus, train, plane, or hot air balloon, the child and her stuffed friend, Zeborah, go with them. Each day brings a new adventure, new friends to meet, and new entries for Lily's journal. Although the book is new, "Lily" is the established star of an apparel company created by Player and Lily apparel designer Erin Nichols. Player's illustrating expertise is perfectly suited for the picture-book format. Bold, bright, and inviting images fill the spreads, and the text tells the story in only a few words. With carefully chosen text and simple sentence structure, the book is a great choice for independent readers or as a read-aloud.—Megan Egbert, Meridian Library District, ID
In this book-length promo for the titular children's clothing company, Lily tells about traveling with her parents, whose work takes them all around the world. Her comments, while enthusiastic, tend to be superficial, with few specifics about her destinations. Lily's face--virtually always smiling, with huge eyes--also seems bland, though the rest of the illustrations are lively enough.
