Lila Goes for Gold Book | Girl of the Year™

My daughter carried this book everywhere for a week straight, and I love that it actually encourages her to act out the scenes with her dolls instead of just staring at a screen. The story moves at a good pace for a 7-year-old, and the hardcover has held up through being tossed in her backpack daily

The chapter illustrations are so lively that my niece kept flipping back to study them after each page, and the story’s pacing made it a perfect bedtime read over three nights. She’s already reenacting Lila’s adventure with her 18” doll, so this book definitely fuels the imaginative play it promises

My daughter couldn’t put this book down after the first chapter—the way it weaves gymnastics into the story feels so real for her age. The hardcover has held up well through three reads so far.
