The Adventures of Alicia Parker – Five Stars – Book Review – Amazon

I am grateful beyond words for the review of my latest illustrated children’s book, The Adventures of Alicia Parker by Mr. Hishan Jackaria on Amazon.

For a debut author or even a renowned writer, reviews increase visibility, directly impacting sales, and encouraging, algorithms (like on Amazon), to recommend the book. They also provide constructive, feedback, which helps authors understand what resonates with readers.

Reading the reviewer’s ink, I have tears in my eyes with uncontrollable emotion.

It’s a great way of appreciating an artist and evaluating their work.

I have the immense pleasure to share this book review with all readers and all authors of books for children.

I wish you ‘ HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY’

Format: Paperback


This enchanting story follows a young girl whose vivid imagination shapes the world around her.
With her gift of insight, she sees possibilities others overlook, turning everyday moments into magical adventures.
From solving puzzles in her day to day life to dreaming about fantastical stories, her fertile imagination becomes her strength and her challenge.
The main themes developed craftily by the author are the power of creativity and imagination, the courage to see the world differently, friendship and empathy.
The language is playful yet thoughtful, making it accessible for young readers while offering deeper insights for adults reading along.
The narrative balances adventures with gentle lessons, encouraging children to embrace their own ideas and uniqueness.
The artwork bursts with vibrant colors and whimsy, perfectly capturing Alicia’s imaginative world. Each page feels like stepping into a dream.

I find this book inspiring and heartwarming. Children, including my own, will be drawn by Alicia Parker’s adventures, while parents and teachers will appreciate the subtle encouragement of creativity and self- confidence.
I recommend this book as being perfect for bedtime reading, classroom discussions about imagination, sixth sense, and intuition.
Mostly, I recommend ‘ The Adventures of Alicia Parker’ as a gift for children who love stories that spark wonder.

Many thanks for stopping by, reading and sharing my happiness, dear friends!

The Princess and the Crow – An Illustrated Children’s Book by Anita Bacha

My cherished debut children’s book was published by the renowned British publisher Austin Macaulay in 2019.

In the same year the COVID-19 pandemic sent shock waves through the world economy and triggered the largest global economic crisis in more than a century. The crisis led to a dramatic increase in inequality within and across countries.

The sale of the book that had just started, slowed down and halted dramatically.

Deep inside I knew how very important it was to pass on the message in the book to all the children in the world.

On 14 Décembre I learned that Edge of Humanity Magazine had featured The Princess and the Crow in their last issue of 2024.

I’m extremely grateful to Joelcy Kay American Brazilian Editor/Curator of “Edge of Humanity Magazine” in Florida #USA for featuring my book for children in their esteemed magazine.

At this time of the year, we are all looking for children’s books to buy for our own kids and to offer to children whose parents can’t afford to pay for an illustrated children’s book for their children.

It’s a blessing, I feel that the book is now available for an unlimited number of children.

Happy viewing, my friends!
