Nancy writes a lot of books that inspires children, books against anti-bullying, or books to help the self esteem. She is a great writer that writes books to keep the spirit and courage of all her readers high.
This book is about a little pig and how she likes to accomplish things that are hard. She likes to brush or teeth and pick out her own clothes. " I like my curly tail, my round tummy and my tiny little feet. " This book is inspirational because it is about a little pig that loves everything about herself. She even talks about how she messes up making a cake and decorating it that she will keep on trying and trying until she is able to do so.

This book does sound great! Kids are getting more self conscious about themselves and how others see them at a younger age nowadays. it would be a great book to read to the class and have them write what they love about themselves. It will make them more comfortable with their differences.
ReplyDeleteThis book sound wonderful! The other day, my niece, who is in 3rd grade, came up to me because a couple of girls said she "wasn't pretty." I never thought about how other people looked in elementary school! Body dissatisfaction and bullying are showing up at an earlier age, and we need to figure out how to show the kids that it's not okay, and what's a better way to introduce these problems than with literature?

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an excellent book for young children. I like that in the book that the pig loves everything about herself. It is crucial for children to love themselves and not feel like they need to change themselves. There are many problems that children have with self-esteem and teaching a book like this is a must read, because they need to know that everyone is special in their own way.
