Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Popsi, The Daughter of Mother Nature
Gerrie Lewis · 2017
66/100
👎 Skip It
Popsi has a genuinely warm environmental heart and the awards lend it real credibility with educators. But the plot is thin to the point of being a lesson delivery vehicle rather than a story, and the limited critical literary coverage makes it hard to assess craft depth. Worth picking up for classroom use, but not a standout read-aloud on its own terms.
