It was a book that has been high on my reading list for days. The cover is beautiful as it shows Lalani sitting in her small rowboat while the title, written in gold, is embedded on a tree. This clearly shows Lalani&#8217;s journey and the expression on her face shows her troubles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image2-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-212\" width=\"566\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image2-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image2-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image2-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image2-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image2-1200x1200.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 85vw, 566px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of my favorite books because of the genre. It&#8217;s a fiction\/fantasy book. I love reading about magic and how it is used. Each story has its own use of magic in a different world and Lalani of the Distant Sea was no different. This was a  lively story about a ghost,unique creatures,and humans who are very different than how we are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lalani of the Distant Sea teaches us about hope, greed, selfishness, and love along with many other virtues. The amazing thing about this book is how Erin Entrada Kelly weaves so many different lessons, perspectives, and characteristics into one book. Lalani of the Distant Sea is truly a miracle book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently read Lalani of the Distant Sea by Erin Entrada Kelly and illustrated by Lian Cho.
