A Wonderfully Diverse Children's Story

This was an intriguing book and I think any child would love to read. Anyone will identify with Keynan as he explores his magical powers and find new friends. And, as with all the best children’s stories, he is a little arrogant at the start, but I loved how that allowed him to fearlessly explore his newfound world and, with all the confidence of childhood and support of his friends, to rush in to solving problems without the hesitancy and second guessing that adulthood brings. In childhood all tasks are achievable and this belief provides the perfect growing moments that lay the foundations of creative, innovative, and courageous people. In addition, building allies and testing the boundaries of friendship is a key factor in learning about the World and Davaun Sanders’ debut novel does this. I loved that this had the representation that so many children’s books often miss out on and which build powerful connections between the reader and characters and show that we are all so much alike. I fell into this book and was swept away by the storytelling and excitement of Keynan’s story and look forward to reading future books by Sanders.
