My Thoughts
I love this story about self-empowerment and appreciate what we have. It is a simple beginning story about everything you can be and do. It’s so well done. There are a few lines per page and it’s simple for children, yet it’s taking some important life concepts and making it easy to understand. I love the artwork and I like the positive message.
Just the fabulous cover is enough to make me fall in love with this book. It's a list of reminders for all of us, reminders that how beautiful our life is and what we can learn by every difficult situation our life offers to us. Smiles to work as an ideal read aloud for any small lesson.
The length was great, and my child adored it. This is one that should be on every child's shelf, and it’s The Readera approved!
