"An inclusive and heartwarming celebration of special moments surrounded by loving family."
When she finds a forgotten piece of confetti it sparks memories of happy family celebrations for Arianna. Watching the confetti spiral through the air she recalls her third birthday party, her first Pride parade, a baby shower held in anticipation of her new sister, her uncle’s recent wedding, and other happy family times.
This debut picturebook, from a much loved and respected poet and YA author, brings Atta’s acclaimed warmth and lyricism to younger readers. Whilst Marley’s soft and colourful illustration brim with the love and security Ari feels surrounded by her family.
I particularly enjoyed the inventive way in which the confetti that links Ari’s memories comes in different forms – some obvious, such as spring flowers and autumn leaves. Others less so, such as the love blossoming in her chest for her baby sister, and exploding snowballs. Showing that happiness and reasons to celebrate can be found in both big and small moments.
A warm and gentle read that is full of love.
One day, Ari discovers a piece of pink confetti under the sofa. She throws is up into the air and watches it helicopter down: a small, bright moment of celebration.
