Brief Summary: This book shows how each child sees themselves, and what they think makes them beautiful. Analogies are made as each child is compared to something like berries, toast, or sunshine. It shows the way they perceive themselves and the way they perceive beauty. Though they are all different, they all are beautiful in their own way.
How it would be used in a classroom setting: I love this book because it is something that everyone can relate to. It is put into words that I think younger children will understand very easily because of the analogies and comparisons made. This would be a good book to read any day for any occasion. The illustrations are really great too.
