Incredible children’s story.
This book provides and insightful experience for young children to engage in literature, art, and the idea and concept of pollution.
The way the issues were expressed provided an easy understanding for the reader.

The Soot creatively approaches the concept of soot and air pollution in a way that is accessible to children by using a blanket analogy. I enjoyed the analogy and I believe this story would appeal to children. Unfortunately, I found the illustrations to be off and some of the pages seemed too wordy.

Thank you NetGalley, Iskanchi Press & Ayo Oyeku for allowing me to read an ARC of The Soot.

A beautiful story about the importance of taking care of the planet and us all doing our part. Gorgeous illustrations and exquisitely written. 🥰

The message of the story is nice and a good way to talk about pollution and caring for the earth. The illustrations seemed a bit off to me, but overall my kids both liked it. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC.

This book was a simple way to introduce the dangers of pollution and what it is doing to our planet. It is interesting how the book is laid out like a vintage picture book. I loved the analogy of the blanket being wrapped around the earth making it hotter. I thought that was a good visual for little students. I would buy this title for my school library and promote it with my Kindergarteners and 1st graders.
