Mr. Flux by Kyo Maclear + Matte Stephens – If you’ve ever wanted to have a book that introduced and specifically talked about change and the impacts change can have on others, this is a brilliant picture book to grab. I really enjoyed the concept, the illustrations, the community portrayed, and more. Reminded me of many other books connected to change but I was especially impressed with how this book specifically focused on how change can be acceptable and possible in life and not something to fear and avoid. The illustrations are quite intriguing and add an extra layer to the picture book as well. Quite the different, original picture book! Martin lives in a neighborhood that is all the same and he likes it like that. There is nothing new or surprising or different. Then Mr. Flux moves in and everything changes. His house is different as is his car. He does strange things like giving Martin a box. Soon Martin realizes that different can be fun and trying new things isn't that scary at all. Mr. Flux changes Martin's neighborhood and everyone in it. I liked the message of this story. I think it is a good one for kids who are afraid of being different or of change. I received a copy of this book from the Publishers on Netgalley.
