Strange how a book that is aimed at children contains some life lessons that would benefit adults! And the message of the book – being yourself – couldn’t be more pertinent and relevant today as people try to be their social media selves instead of their true selves.
This book is an absolute delight on many levels. The illustrations are wonderful, complex in their simplicity, with plenty to talk about and share with a child if you’re reading the book to them. The language is accessible. For a child starting out on their reading journey there’s much in here that they can read for themselves. Not too many words on the page so it’s achievable. But it’s the kind of book that you just want to sit down with kids and read to them, and with them and together absorb the fusion of words and pictures that encourage all of us to value ourselves and our friends.
