While We Wait by Élodie Duhameau, Judy Ann Sadler
4.0
hopeful informative slow-paced

 
Waiting is not a pleasant thing. It’s something most kids find really hard. This book is just a long weight of a child and their grandparent. Advanced readers and adults will probably figure out what they’re waiting for. But it’ll probably be a big surprise to the kids. This story has an unusual cadence but it flows nicely it doesn’t intentionally set out to rhyme which is good because the cadence still flows even when the accidental rhyme pops in. This book is well done it’s perfect for the topic and the illustrations are lovely. They are unusual in this type of book but I think the way the artist uses simple lines and their color to express the feeling of waiting is absolutely perfect. This book is great not just for the people waiting and his situation but for any leader who hast to sit and wait.
