Picture Book Review – Moli and the Magic Tunnel

Author: Jayada S. Sarela, Illustrator Marina Halak

Publisher: Vala Sajja, 2020

An excerpt from Amazon:

There are many ways to nurture children; and it is best through play. Stories that teach meditation without touching the word ; while will intertwine the breathing work and body awareness in a fun and active way.

A lovely book about self-awareness, feelings, and emotions. A must-have for your home library.

Moli is an introvert with no friends. He struggles with his feelings, but when he stumbles upon a magic tunnel named Tubee, (which reminds me of To be, or not to be), he meets up with his young grandpa and learns a strategy to cope with his changing emotions. An excellent read for the young and old alike. I love how the illustrator included the mouse experiencing the same emotions as Moli.

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.
