Marvellous Macey,Ã?â?? The Delightful Days is about real life Macey and the zest she has for life. Every day IÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢d a good day for Macey and she us truly so very Marvellous! Macey is a delightful to everyone she sees because she is do good at remembering faces and names. And to new people she meets, she doesnÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t mind asking who they are and being her delightful self to them. Marvellous Macey also has some imaginary friends she loves, and these friends also help being there for Macey. Macey is a joy and delight to everyone she is around. The book mentions the mountains sheÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s had to climb, and if you go to the authors website you can read about the very many difficult medical situations Macey has had to face in her young life. I like that the author didnÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t mention the specific things her daughter endured, because any child or parent can read this and find inspiration and encouragement.Ã?â?? This book will be an amazing book for children going through these very difficulties in their own lives. If you know someone who has a child going through difficult situations no matter what they are, Marvellous Macey, The Delightful Days would be a wonderful gift for them.
In addition to this wonderful delightful story, Illustrator Csongor Veres does a fabulous job of creating just the right characters and images for each page that go perfectly with the story. I love the characters faces and the expressions on them, and especially MaceyÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s. Each picture of Macey clearly shows how happy she is, and how delightful she is to every person she sees. I love that when smaller children has the book read to them, they can go back and look at the illustrations and tell the story themselves.
Everything about this story is a sure delight. And if you want to know more about Macey and her journey, I encourage you to visit the authors website and read MaceyÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s story. IÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢m am in awe of this brave, courageous little girl. She is amazing, and a little one I would love to meet someday! Marvellous Macey, The Delightful Days should be in every childÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s library, as well as the libraries of every daycare, preschool, kindergarten, elementary school library as well as any Dr or Dentist office or anywhere a child would be. I encourage you to read this book and do what you can to help the author spread the word about this special book.Ã?â?? And I give this one 5plus stars. I sure wish I could give it many more. Oh and there are many freebies on the website for kids. IÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ve included some here on my blog post.

Caitlin E Bangsund�s Marvellous Macey, The Delightful Days is a cute little tale. I love entering into little Macey�s world. I thought she was an inspiration and a good role model for so many readers who would be able to relate to her. I love her imagination and her ability to love and be kind with all she encounters. She just puts a smile on my face. She is a brave little girl and am so glad to meet her. It is exciting to find out that this story is based on the real Macey, which is marvellous! How sweet is that?
The pictures from Marvellous Macey, The Delightful Days are so wonderful. These beautiful and creative illustrations are the makings and from the talents of Csongor Veres. I thought the pictures were a perfect addition to the story and ones that easily keeps young readers attentive and involved.
Marvellous Macey, The Delightful Days gets a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who are three to nine years old. I hope to find more books by Caitlin E Bangsund in the near future. I am hoping to meet Macey in another story soon. I can not wait to share my copy with my son�s elementary school librarian. She will be so excited to have it on the school library shelves for her students.
I received Marvellous Macey, The Delightful Days from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
