My Review:
Full of words of wisdom and whimsical paintings, Cody's Whisper crafts an empowering and enlightening story about courage, confidence and connection with nature.
Cody the coyote dislikes the loud noises at school, where he gets laughed at for stuttering. Feeling like a whisper in a bustling world, Cody escapes into the forest to seek peace and answers about getting stronger and smarter. He runs into the Moon, the Sun, the Creek, the Tree and a bunch of wild animals, each with a valuable piece of advice to offer.
With adorable characters and colorful images, the book invites young readers to join Cody's spiritual retreat in the forest, where he learns important life lessons through reflection and conversation with various kind and wise forest friends. Along with curious Cody, readers witness the healing power of nature and gain insight into the strength of softness and stillness. They are therefore inspired to shine in their own unique ways, and to stay strong and patient in the face of obstacles, changes and challenges. They are also encouraged to trust themselves, to seek support from family and friends, and to connect with nature through their senses.
While the lyrical narrative imparts practical advice to growing minds, the enchanting illustrations that accompany it manifest the beauty and serenity of nature, adding to the calming and uplifting charm of the tale. Cody's eyes are exceptionally well-depicted to reflect his inner light and the gradual transformation he undergoes during the journey.
Artfully written and beautifully illustrated, Cody's Whisper is a meaningful and enjoyable book that helps spark in-depth discussions about mindfulness, emotional resilience, inner strength and self-acceptance.
