We Have Our First Goodreads Review.

Kid’s Books
Written By Jessica Gabrielzyk

They say you never forget your first. And they are right. I opened Goodreads today and there it was. Five stars. Eight words. I read it four times.

★★★★★ "Amazing book! My son just love it." - Reader via Goodreads on My First American Coloring Book

I will take it. I will frame it.

Five stars on Goodreads from a reader is the kind of thing that helps the next parent decide to take a chance on a book they have never heard of. It does work I genuinely cannot do for myself. So to whoever you are: thank you. And thank your son. He has excellent taste.

If you have read My First American Coloring Book and want to leave a review on Goodreads or Amazon — please do. Every single one matters.

Over the moon,

Jessica Gabrielzyk

Jessica Gabrielzyk is a Brazilian writer living in Switzerland. She moved there with her husband and daughter, who was three months old at the time and had strong opinions about the whole thing even then.

She writes about change.

The visible kind and the kind that happens inside a person, while everything on the outside looks fine.

Her first book, Maternity Abroad, explored what it means to become a mother far from the system you trusted. It has reached readers in more than fifteen countries across five continents. Parenting Unpacked, her second book, follows the experience of parenting through major life disruption, whether that's an international move, a career loss, a new baby, or a life that simply stops responding the way it used to. My First American Coloring Book was created to help toddlers engage with daily life in the United States through play and familiar imagery.

She is a member of SIETAR, the Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research, and the International Academy of Brazilian Literature.

She writes for the parent who is still inside it, getting through the day, and wondering somewhere underneath all of it who they are becoming.

When she is not writing, she is walking forty minutes uphill with a stroller, telling herself the exercise is the point.
