Konrad, I Will Find You {book review}

Book Launch, Konrad I will find you, review, jennifer perlin, jay lutes, children book
To celebrate the release of Konrad, I Will Find You there is a book launch party! Details can be found in the photo above - I will be there with my family to enjoy the activities and listen to the book reading.  Copies will be available for purchase as well.

"Konrad, I Will Find You" is written by Jennifer Perlin (a local blogger) and illustrated by Jay Lutes. It tells the story of a little boy that is experiencing some separation anxiety about starting school, and the questions he asks his parents. He is worried about getting lost and them not being able to find him.

I really enjoyed reading Konrad, I Will Find You.  It is a book that is very easy for me to relate to, having been through separation anxiety with both of my children. I found familiar images playing through my head as I read through the story.  It's a quick, easy read and a great book to share with your kids if they are worried about being away from you (whether it is overnight, at daycare/school or with a babysitter).

The illustrations are great also - the pages are filled with details that you would expect if you were to walk into someones kitchen or down a school hallway (scenes in the book)

Konrad, I Will Find You will be available for purchase at Tag Along Toys or through Another Chapter Publishing

  1. Sounds like a great book and something I could probably use soon as my daughter will be going away to Toronto at the end of next month with her Girl Guide troops. It will be for the entire weekend and we're 6 hours away, so I'm a bit nervous. I'll have to look this book up. Thanks for sharing!

  5. This would be a great read for kids starting the JK year in September, and the cover illustration and premise sounds relatable for many young kids.

    1. Definitely! I think most kids have some sort of separation anxiety.
