This book will help you teach your children the value of tolerance, cooperation and acceptance while celebrating their differences. It may help boost a child's self-esteem and realize that being different isn't a negative trait.
It reinforces the view that being different is a positive thing and encourages children to accept the fact that everyone is different..
The lesson of the book best expressed in this inspirational quote by Robert Tew.“Do not underestimate yourself by comparing yourself with others. It’s our differences that make us unique & Beautiful.”
The moral of the story is that each of us has our own unique flaws, but those flaws can make our lives interesting and rewarding if we use them to the best advantage. It's a great lesson for youngsters to learn at an early age.
My kiddos, after reading the book, have expressed their thoughts about imperfections. They tell me that we should not compare ourselves to others and we must learn to accept what was given to us by God.
