REVIEWS “In Childs’ picture book, when a little French bulldog gets bullied, he discovers that it’s our differences that make us special… The text, written in verse, is earnestly heartfelt about the struggles that kids often face...The simple words and adorable animal pictures expertly distill themes of self-acceptance and anti-bullying for a young audience. A charming tale about learning to love oneself, snorts and all.” -- Kirkus Review (starred review) “I cried at the ending of this wonderful book! Being a grade schoolteacher since 1978, I have not read a more on target and moving story for children that also speaks to adults. A lot of us have been bullied or know someone who has been bullied, and the resolution in the story for Henri to overcome his shame and then help others was perfect writing… Anyone who has ever had low esteem or ever bullied needs this book to remind them just how beautiful they are; a wonderful lesson taught by a simple story. Bravo! Samantha Childs you are a jewel: keep on writing.” – LitPick Book Review “Childs’s book is simply a stunning work of children’s literature.
