Cassandra’s Angel by Gina Otto - ESSENTIAL


Otto, Gina Cassandra’s Angel Sterling Children’s Books, 2011. $14.95. Content G- PICTURE BOOK. When Cassandra is surrounded by negative thinking people and struggles with following directions, she feels as if she can do nothing right nor be the kind of person no one wants to be around. When Cassandra thinks her situation can’t get much worse, a very special person visits her and helps to put her world in perspective. I thought this book was going to be a little cheesy, but ended up having compassion for Cassandra and kids everywhere that struggle with one issue or another. The flow of the story is written rhyming couplets and the artwork is beautiful. EL – ESSENTIAL.   Shauna, reading teacher.
