Junonia by Kevin Henkes
November 29, 2011
“Henkes has been a favorite author of mine since I discovered his picture book Chrysanthemum. His books are always rich with language. Junonia is a lovely book of reflection about a girl as she turns 10 years of age. Alice is an only child and used to life going her way. She isn't spoiled but is used to having adult attention to herself. Every year she spends her birthday at a cottage resort along the Florida coast. This year her special day is to be different as many of the doting adults usually present will not be able to attend and, to top it off, she is to share the attention with a difficult eight year old.

Alice's birthday wish is to find a Junonia shell to add to her extensive collection. As she is searching for the allusive shell, Alice discovers many things about herself and the effect her actions can have on people around her. While this story doesn't have a lot of action, it is a very reflective book. It is the kind of book a young reader will want to curl up with and thoughtfully work through.”—Cynthia, Paulina Springs Books, with locations in Sisters and Redmond, OR.
