It's one thing reviewing kids' books. It's another creating stimulating, entertaining and enthralling content for kids but it's something altogether special when kids share their true thoughts and feelings about a story with other kids.
Which is why we are over-the-moon excited about the latest member to join our elite KBR team. Give it up for the delightful, book mad, soon-to-be-published-author, Ayla Wardrop everyone!
Ayla loves reading and writing, particularly stories with mythical creatures and cute characters. Picture books, junior fiction, middle grade and graphic novels — Ayla loves them all. She’s also a keen illustrator and takes pens everywhere to fit in five more minutes of drawing whenever she can. Poetry is on the list of things Ayla loves, and her poem Doggies Like will be published in the upcoming anthology Hot Diggety Dog: Tails from the Bark Side. And if you think Ayla looks a little like one of our other revered reviewers, you'd be right! Welcome Ayla! We can't wait to read more about you ...
