This book follows a young girl who struggles with loving herself for who she is because of her classmates who make fun of her and share mean words. Throughout the book, we see the little girl start to find herself again and come to accept the way she looks and love herself for it. This would be an excellent book in a classroom because it teaches the importance of loving yourself for who you are. For example, in the book the young girl struggles between listening to hateful words and kind words. So this book teaches the importance of focusing on kind words. A book about a young girl and her experience with self-acceptance and affirmation. She experiences the wounds that come from the power of words and chooses to let them go and reclaim all that she once knew herself as; creative, kind, compassionate, worthy of taking up space in this world just as she is. This book would be good for 1st and 2nd graders. This book is a great way to teach children about the power of life and death within the tongue. It would use it to allow children to build empathy and feel empowered in being all that makes them who they are. The main character is a girl who is growing and changing, and doesn't look like all of the other girls. Kids at school are mean and she figures out how to focus on her positive attributes and gives them back their mean words. I would use this book to show students the impact their words can have on each other and highlight the importance of being kind. This book is a good way to teach students that everyone is unique and everybody has good things to bring to the table. This book goes over the story of a little girl who is learning about self-acceptance and how to overcome the hardships of not feeling accepted by peers. I would use this book in my classroom to help my students learn the importance of accepting yourself for who you are and using kind words to others. no reviews | add a review

Good to show or talk about how words hurt or what actions can make people feel. Even if you don't intend to hurt them. Helps little kids think about being more mindful with their words?
