Review
This is a sweet little book about moths that can double as a pick-me-up for any child who isn t feeling special at the moment. Just as the boy does with the moth, young picture book readers are encouraged to take a second look at themselves and their own qualities to discover just how different and wonderful they truly are.
Thanks to author Karlin Gray, the little moth delights readers by laying out the details of its life in playful rhyme. The vocabulary is perfect for ages 4 to 8. Illustrator Steliyana Doneva's lovely portrait-paintings offer a lush and detailed look at insect life and color patterns.
Use this book in Science class to open a discussion about insects and observation skills. It is also a great book to open a discussion about self-love, character, and what talents and qualities each person has to offer to society. --Picture Book Depot
An Extraordinary Ordinary Moth by Karlin Gray and illustrated by Steliyana Doneva is a rhyming picture book about an unlikely creature a moth gray and ordinary. Readers will learn about the more exotic moths like the hummingbird moth (which really looks like a hummingbird!) and the luna moth. Kids will enjoy the colorful illustrations and learn about how special even an ordinary, gray moth is. --Pamela Kramer Blog

When she did, she learned some extraordinary things and was inspired to write An Ordinary Moth. Karlin is also the author of Nadia: The Girl Who Couldn’t Sit Still. She lives in Connecticut with her family. Visit her at www.KarlinGray.com.
