Makeda: Queen of Sheba by Marlon McKenney

 I requested this book because the art style drew me in. The artwork is a beautiful kind of art that can easily be visualized as an animated movie that would be truly stunning. 

The story is also amazing! It is a children's story so it is a shorter story, but I could have read several more pages of it. 

Makeda is a wonderful protagonist with flaws and everything. Her parents have their flaws and strengths in their own way. And the little flavoring of political intrigue is fun as well. 

If you want to get kids into reading or introduce them to new stories, this is a wonderful story to do that with. 

The authors notes are absolutely heartwarming as they talk about why they wanted to tell this story for their children. 

I received this book free from NetGalley and Conscious Culture Publishing to review and this is my honest review. '

Five out of five stars
