Dear Street (-) di Lindsay Zier-Vogel
I appreciate the opportunity to read and review this ARC, which was made possible by NetGalley and the publisher. Writing love notes to their towns and hiding them for random people to find them is such a fantastic idea. This book, in my opinion, is not only adorable but also gives kids a wonderful lesson in gratitude and love. This book was fantastic, and I highly suggest it to families with young children.
This book is a love letter to home. A little girl loves the street on which she lives and when people grumble about it, she writes letters to the offending item. Letters that say I love you and this is why. When she has her dark days and wants to grumble, she herself finds a letter. This book comes from the authors own experiences, particularly when her she three-year-old child noticed different things about the street they live on. This book was wonderful and a fantastic idea.
Grace is a thirty-something library tech who we meet just as her long-term, live-in boyfriend is leaving her. She is taking it hard, but her job provides a diversion: cataloguing recently-discovered letters from Amelia Earhart wrote to her love, Gene Vidal. Grace's live becomes increasingly entwined with Amelia's as Grace finds the letters both distracting and inspirational. She begins to discover more about herself.
The book is a light read; nothing earthshattering happens, but the characters are well drawn and I very much wanted to know what would happen to Grace.… (altro)

I love this book! What a beautiful idea and one that anyone from the youngest school child to the oldest adults could do. It was an astonishing surprise to discover that the author based this lovely book on her own experiences.
Alice loved her street but she noticed that not everyone did. People grumbled about everything from being too warm, too many leaves to rake, too crowded, and too much snow. Alice, however, knew just what to do. She wrote letters to her street telling how much and why she loved it and left them for people to find. Soon other people began to notice the unique things that Alice did and to write letters of their own. Caroline Bonne-Müller's colorful and detailed illustrations add so much to this story. Each picture has something extra to discover if you look closely enough.
Lindsay Zier-Vogel did the same thing as Alice, writing love letters to places. She then asked other people to do the same. Eventually, she founded The Love Lettering Project, and people from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Brazil have written thousands of letters marked with the word "love" for others to find. What a fabulous way to bring some joy to the world!
Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for the ARC of this book and to Lindsay Zier-Vogel for an extraordinary idea to begin in my town!
