My Review: 

What a delightful children's picture book!  Zenji is a Buddabug who has caught a Muzzy Bug.  Karma, the little voice inside his head, pops out of nowhere and tells Zenji that he needs to believe in a little magic.  Zenji begins a magical tour within himself and makes himself feel better.  What I loved most about this picture book were the illustrations. I would close the book and read it again just to see all the vibrant colors again.  Aisli Madden has a great concept - a more holistic approach to being sick and proves the point that if we believe in our healing powers within ourselves, we heal much faster.  Loved it!

I give this book 5 rainbows!
