Have You Seen My Friends? The Adventures of Creativity, written by award-winning author Monica H. Kang, is an adorable book for children big and small. The story follows a character who wakes up one day feeling a little blue. It seems to have lost its three friends - Curiosity, Courage, and Creativity - and isn't sure why. The main character, a cute purple figured monster, sets out to find them and bumps into some other friendly young monsters who then asks the purple monster to describe what its friends are like. It is more than happy to answer their question and goes on to describe each one of its missing friends. Will he find them in the end? And if he did, how did he do it? Find out in this beautifully created book, Have You Seen My Friends? The Adventures of Creativity.
Monica H. Kang's book, Have You Seen My Friends? The Adventures of Creativity, is an informative and thought-provoking book that children will learn a lot from. I loved how she has simplified three crucial states of mind for children to understand. It is easy for anyone to lose confidence and to hide within themselves because of how other people make them feel. With a book like this, children will have a guide to help them navigate through these difficult times and encourage them to remain who they are. It is highly important not to let anyone other than themselves dictate who they become in the future. The illustrations by the incredible Khadeeja Qureshi are cute and fit perfectly with the storyline. I enjoyed reading this wonderful book and wish both the author and illustrator all the best in their creative fields.
