Freddie Ramos Takes Off by Jacqueline Jules
4.0
I really like this story. My favorite element is that this book represents a character of color without enmeshing that character in race related situations. He's a modern kid who finds a pair of shoes that allow him to run super fast.
My only problem with this book is that the character talks about money too often. It seemed like every other page there was a comment about bills or money. I understand this is a part of children's lives and is supposed to help them relate to the character, but it felt like overkill.
Freddie is a good character that children of all colors can relate to. It's suggested for children from 4-8 years old, but is a step above beginner books. This would be a great transition into chapter books.
