Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)
Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Handwritten quote on a white sheet with an illustrated face at the bottom and pink hearts around the text. The quote reads:
"If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting."

Front cover of the picture book Levi’s Gift with a young man playing the violin with his eyes closed. The music is pictured coming out of the violin and swirling around him, up into the air above his head. the music is described in swirls of yellow, pinks and blues with little notes moving along it. There are also white sparkly white swirls to help describe the music with a hint of magic. There is a small girl dancing in the top left corner holding a violin in her own swirl of matching music. The cover is on a blue watercolour background. The title Levi’s Gift is dark blue written in cursive placed centred above the young man playing the violin. Author/illustrator credit are either side of the young man’s legs. The illustration is in watercolour with soft pencil lines describing the details. There is a vanilla cupcake on a white dish with a lit candle and sprinkles in the icing placed on the surface the book is placed on.
It’s Levi’s Gift Book Birthday!!!🧁📚
