A boy standing in front of the power of yeti book cover.

THE POWER OF YETI  by Rebecca Van Slyke

My big feelings granddaughter has cued me into watching for picture books that will speak directly to the kiddos that need them. Rebecca Van Slyke’s THE POWER OF YETI takes a child intimidated by other’s talents and his own insecurities and places him in a fantastical setting as he discovers that he will grow into his yet (or yeti). Humor comes from the situation, dialogue and G. Brian Karas’ illustrations which contrast and blend realities.
