[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Mia and the Dragonfly" by Barbara Gural.]
Mia and the Dragonfly by Barbara Gural is a fictional children's book inspired by her granddaughter Mia Dylan, who had a love for butterflies.
These characters are animated. The illustrations and vibrant colors used bring the characters to life in a picture. The illustrations done by Aklima Monnaf are equally important in reading Mia and the Dragonfly. The illustrations not only breathe life into the characters but also into the scenery each sentence the narration speaks about.
There is a twist to the story Mia and the Dragonfly. Mia, the main character, sets out to find a butterfly but captured a different species; henceforth, Mia and the Dragonfly becomes the story as it unfolds.
The story is a delightful read about Mia's adventure with her birthday gift given to her. The main dragonfly in the story isn't described by color in words but by the illustrations used in the story, you can determine what he looks like.
My favorite part of the book is speech brought to the dragonfly, the other main character. There are other characters significant in this book, such as a grasshopper and a purple dragonfly, that is female. I like romance. Mia's friend, the dragonfly is searching for a mate, one he spotted in particular.
There is nothing I don't like in particular about Mia and the Dragonfly. This is definitely a delightful read to teach reading to children. I recommend this book for K-12. I also recommend it for a bedtime story. It's a fictional short story.
The language used in the book is perfectly edited with the author's own writing style. For instance, using... in the narration, making the speech flow and look whimsical, along with the illustrations. I give Mia and the Dragonfly a 5 out of 5 stars for the above stated reason.
