Child author Natalia Padilla gets positive reviews for her rhyming picture book “Good Night”

Natalia Padilla’s “Good Night” tells about Mary, a young girl who sleeps soundly at night after a long day of playing and fun activity. As she retreats into dreamland, she embarks on an adventure of sorts.

By reading “Good Night,” kids will enjoy learning about vowels, consonants, conjunctions, and other aspects of the English language. The book encourages kids to speak English correctly and fluently without an accent.

Natalia Padilla’s “Good Night” has been well-received by book reviewers. Rachel Dehning of the Manhattan Book Review gave the book 4 of 5 stars. She wrote in her review, “Padilla’s portrayal of Mary’s positivity is infectious, making this reviewer’s mood stay and continue to be positive throughout her story. Mary doesn’t come across situations too deep or difficult to explain to children, which is a relief in today’s world.

“It is calming to read about simplicity in a character’s life and nothing but happiness happening; there is too much complexity today.”

Michael Radon praised “Good Night” for its bedtime entertainment value, calling the book “vibrant and funky” and “playful and bouncing.” In his review on The US Review of Books, he wrote, “Each page has fun, rhyming text, wild and unexpected imagery, and accompanying illustrations that are eye-catching and just as joyful as the story itself.”

Pacific Book Review’s Beth Adams enjoyed the book for its purpose and praised Natalia Padilla for the work she put in her book and for having the readers in mind throughout her story and illustration. She said, “Natalia Padilla has created a work from her heart; showcasing the love and kindness she has towards children, and how she wishes to comfort their dreams.

“‘Good Night’ has a place on the bookshelf for those wishing a short bedtime read to children, allowing them to be cuddled by the rhyme, storyline, song, and illustrations beautifully presented by Natalia Padilla. She has a remarkable ability to write in a way toddlers can understand, and we certainly hope to see more from this talented author, illustrator and songwriter.”

Theresa Kadair of Seattle Book Review also gave the book 4 stars of 5 for its wonderful character and plot development, easy-to-read narrative, and stunning illustrations. She said that Natalia has “accomplished her goal of presenting a pleasant read that also helps listeners learn to pronounce difficult-to-say English words and phrases.”
