Beautiful book and message for young and old

The book has beautiful illustration that supports a story of great importance for children - to be themselves and not conform to pressure from others to be like them.

Highly recommend!

Hi Leesha,
It's one of the bedtime favorites in our household. I love a rhyming children's story, and the message is important, I agree. It is a gem of a book, written by a talented local we met through the store!
