Meet Adeline, a spunky, daring, and always caring little girl who knows the library is the key to exploring worlds she’s always wanted to see.
Her love of books is contagious, the librarians know her by name, and when she sits with her huge pile of books to read, she knows her day will never be the same.
But when a boy from school comes into the library with a sad look, and says he won’t read a book, Adeline wants to know why and really wants to help him try. Through her love of stories, and a touch of imagination, Adeline will help him to see how wonderful books can truly be.
In this kindhearted, rhyming story, Adeline helps young readers understand that a bit of imagination and kindness can be every kid’s superpower.
