My Thoughts
This gorgeous, beautifully illustrated to loving who you are, respecting others, and being kind to one another comes from my favorite author Jo Dodd.
It was so refreshing to see the beautiful coloured pictures on every page. I wish I saw books like this growing up as a little girl. It definitely would have built up my confidence levels and self-esteem.
Author Jo Dodd's message is clear and simple, and the theme is familiar enough to strike chords with every reader, young and old. Any child who is less than perfect will cheer with joy to meet Tilly Toad, a beautiful frog who has so much to give, full of love. Leave it to Tilly Toad to transform all his 'faults' into marvelous talents.
We are all here for a purpose. We are more than enough. We just need to believe it. A simple but powerful book. Needs to be read by everyone.
Highly Recommended!
