Starred Review
âA visual delight, this picture book offers openings for
conversation about wishes, predictions, and oneâs own enviable
strengths.ââSchool Library Journal **Starred Review** What
child has not daydreamed about having wings like a butterfly? But
secretly, the flashy butterfly yearns for a stick insectâs
privacy. And the stick insect wants to swim like a whirligig
beetle. One after the other, the denizens of bestselling
author-illustrator Mies van Houtâs vibrant garden landscape wish
to be like somebody else. From the glowing firefly to the capable
spider to the adorable ladybugs, each one brings something to be
admired. And when the dragonfly wishes to be like a child who can
run, play, laugh, and build, a world of possibilities opens up. A
gentle but effective story for social emotional learning, If Only
allows children to reach their own conclusions and acknowledge that
while itâs common to compare ourselves to others, itâs best to
remember and celebrate what we ourselves can do. âThe imaginative
narrative guides viewers through a series of richly colorful,
dynamic collages, each showcasing a creature and its particularly
enviable ability, characteristic, or situationâŚ.Originally
published in the Netherlands, this radiant picture book has
international appeal.ââBooklist **Starred Review**
