Soren's Seventh Song by Dave Eggers
From New York Timesbestselling author Dave Eggers comes a deadpan take on creativity and persistence, as told through the eyes of a humpback whale looking for a new song***STARRED REVIEW***
“It’s hard work to make something that’s not only new but wins the hearts of others, but in the hands of these creators—human and whale alike—the labors of the creative process sing”
***STARRED REVIEW***
“In this hilarious story, Eggers succeeds in giving readers one whale of a lesson on the values of learning from criticism, abandoning what isn’t working, and never giving up.”
“Eggers tackles important themes—the challenges of the creative process, which entails unavoidable laboring, and the necessity of trustworthy friends willing to give honest feedback. An approachable explanation of tenacity, friendship, and hope.” * Kirkus *
Despite (or because of?) murky waters that seem related to writerly indulgence, this develops a theme worth the hearing, even for creative readers well beyond the younger reaches of the picture book audience. * School Library Journal *
[T]he dry, witty voice and direct asides give this picture book plenty of humor, and there’s a surprising balance between snark and tenderness... solo readers will delight in the irreverent humor. * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
