Why We Picked It

  • "Self-acceptance is a hard lesson to teach with just words. This story tackles the feeling of being 'too much' or 'not fitting in' perfectly. I selected it because it gently shows children that their unique traits—even the clumsy ones—are exactly what makes them wonderful. A must-read for any child who feels a little out of place." — Amanda
