Opinion:
Maddy and Grace Save the Zoo is a captivating picture book about the importance of working hard to help the people and places you care about. The story really shows how even young kids like Maddy, Grace, and Mia can make big differences in their communities with the use of hard work and wanting to help. Just like Maddy, Grace, and Mia, kids can help build community after events like COVID. In helping save the zoo, Maddy, Grace, and Mia gave the community around them a way to gather and spend time together. The book also shows how it is important to stick with something even if it does not work out right away. Despite the girl's lemonade stand not working out as well as they hoped right away, they stuck with it and it paid off in the end! The colorful illustrations throughout the book help portray the different scenes. This book would be great for a child who wants to read a longer picture book or wants to practice reading independently!
