Meet the Author:

As a former second grade and elementary art teacher, Lauren Piland is a Louisiana native turned Texas homesteader who knows the importance of engaging read-alouds both in class and at home. After taking a step back from the classroom to raise her second child, she realized the gap some campuses face between the undersupported emotional struggles of students and the overwhelming responsibilities of teachers. “When we can use tools such as books and relatable characters to open up those more meaningful conversations, both at home and in the classroom, it aids in that process of peeling back layers of getting to know each other better and building trust,” says Piland. “Children need to feel seen, feel heard, and feel protected. And we do that by tapping into our emotions.”

Piland also wanted to further support teachers by including ready-to-use, curriculum-based exercises to go along with each book that focus on learning objectives such as reading comprehension strategies, vocabulary building and word mechanics exercises, writing prompts, whole group projects and STEM exercises with differentiated versions for students in Pre-K all the way to fourth grade.

My Review: 

I found that Lauren Piland’s Blooming Rose Blasts Off to be a sweet children’s story. I loved getting to know Rose and seeing her gain courage as she tries something new. She learns some great lessons that so many readers – young and old – can learn from. I thought it was a sweet way to show to never give up and continue to have the determination toward a goal. I really liked that Rose had that she had that encouragement that needed from those around her. That is another lesson that we can all learn from. Encouraging one another can be just as rewarding when witnessing someone accomplish something that seems to be the impossible. I loved really book so much. 

Blooming Rose Blasts Off is beautifully illustrated by the talented artist, Kristen Humphrey. I loved seeing the vivid pictures as I go along with the words on each page. They were a perfect addition to the Rose’s story. 

I am giving Blooming Rose Blasts Off a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of four and nine. I believe it would be a great placement at public libraries, as well as, on classroom shelves. I am interested in reading more children’s books from Lauren Piland in the future. 

I received a hard cover copy of Blooming Rose Blasts Off from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
