This classic children's book is perfect to read aloud for World Kindness Day ( ) WOW, what in the 'relevant to our current state of humanity' did I just read?! I already know this book is going to be one of my top reads for 2022, and it's only February. I am going to do my best to review this book without spoilers, but the TL;DR of it is, even if "near future - scifi" isn't in your normal reads, I highly recommend this book. The way it tells a near future story, while dropping bigger picture ideas for the reader to ponder on is masterful. I am in awe at the profound themes, and in no way saw the depth coming from the blurb. Every detail of this story felt like a future that is one of the many possibilities for us. Blake did his due diligence when researching for this book, and again within the text as Logan ponders out that big question, "Is it possible to save humanity from itself?" From his person life, to his professional, Logan is doing his best to make up for the black mark on his name. When his world gets turned upside down from a raid gone wrong, he works through it the only way he knows how—not repeating history. By the end of the book, I was in tears from his personal growth. While I am not the most science jargon savy person, I never once felt lost with the discussions in the book, and was surprised to see Logan's thoughts aligned with my own from the interpersonal level of humanity. Blake does a wonderful job of explaining just the right amount for those that don't have a background in genetic manipulation, all while keeping true to the characters voices in the story that do have that background. Overall, the story is well laid out, perfectly paced—I read it in every spare moment I had just to figure out what was going to happen next—and addresses one of the many elephants we have in the room with us. The characters are diverse, relatable, and feel like the people in your own family. There is no way I could rave about this book enough. You're going to love it, if you enjoy books that pull at your emotions, and leave you feeling hopeful for humans. *Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for an advanced copy of this book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Publicado primero en 1954, esta historia clásica muestra a un elefante que un día oye un sonido minúsculo venir de un mota de polvo. Él escucha muy difícilmente y finalmente discierne una súplica de ayuda. Horton decide ayudar a la sociedad de los quienes, criaturas que han hecho esta minúscula mota del polvo su hogar. Horton se pone en ridículo al hablar con un pedazo de pelusa, lo regañan y lo amenazan con el encarcelamiento. Horton suplica a sus protegidos que hablen tan en alto como sea posible, para probar su existencia a los no creyentes. Su existencia no se verifica hasta que cada quien, incluso el más pequeño, grita con toda su fuerza. Dejando de lado el mensaje político, esta obra nos muestra el mundo macro y el mundo micro en toda su realidad. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
