At first, I thought the book might be a little too long for kids. But as I started reading it to my boy, I realized he was imagining so much in his mind as we went along. It reminded me that just because a book has a lot of pages doesn’t mean it’s too long. Sometimes, those pages are what spark a child’s imagination, and that’s exactly what a children’s book should do.
Everything was great, but what I loved most was the message behind it. Not just any message, but one that actually sticks with a child.
A few days later, I asked my son what he took away from the story, and he was able to give me a clear answer right away. That’s when I said to myself, YES! It stuck with him the way it was supposed to.
This book did three things for my son..
-
It sparked his imagination
-
It entertained him
-
It touched his heart.
At first, I thought the book was good, but seeing the impact it had on him took it to another level for me.
He said, “Being different doesn’t make you less special, it makes you more special.”
And honestly, that right there says it all.
