Teacher / parent review.
Great story to start a variety of discussions with your child about the importance of valuing yourself, rather than valuing the options of others to reflect your self worth. This can be simplified to just discussing how amazing your child is and just giving them a few examples of why you feel that way or what makes them unique. You could go further by explains what others think of them and why that can be important or not important.
Parent
Such a lovely story. Simple and easy to read. Wonderful immersive art throughout.
A story about just being you.
