Customer Reviews

Great

I thought this book was extremely touching. The book really does see things through the eyes of a child. This makes it easier for kids to ask questions about serious subjects and consider the possible repercussions of their actions. I purchased the entire set for my niece and she absolutely loved them. I gave them to her one by one and she has read them and shared them with her classmates and several parents have inquired as to where they came from and how they could get a set. I found both boys and girls find them interesting.

Easy read

I bought this book for my daughter and she said she really enjoyed it. She sometimes struggle with reading, but the wording in this book was not difficult for her and she was able to read it on her own. She finished it in about 3 days because she couldn't put it down.

Willie Rules!

My daughter and I can't stop re-reading the books from this entire series. Willie is a kids, kid. A mixture of sass, insecurity, and sweetness. I was looking for a character who my daughter could identify with that also looks like her. It's important to me that she has heroes who African American too. Like the other reviewer my only wish would be for more books!

"Willimena Rules" says my twin daughters

It's has been very difficult trying to find books for my twin 8yr old daughters. I wanted a series of books with the star character being an African American girl just having fun and doing kid stuff. A book that will make them know that reading is fun. This book does just that and more. I only wish that there were more of them because I already bought them all. If you're looking for a great chapter book for an African American girl, then author Valerie Wilson Wesley's series of "Willimena Rules" is it. Also try, Gloria Rising and Gloria's Way by Ann Cameron.

We love Willimena Rules!

My daughter loves this book series. Once she picked this book up, she couldn't put it down. I love that!
