The most important skill a parent and teacher can teach children is the ability to think for themselves. If children were encouraged to show this confidence more often, bullies wouldn't have power. (a favorite from amazon.com) Great Book, Great Message! Very cute story with a great message. I like the simplicity of the story but the huge lesson that is built into it. I hope this book makes it into the hands of every child. ( Sara Jaramillo from amazon.com January 25, 2019) I grew up being a people pleaser.   By the time I was in my 20's I had to find myself all over again- not unlike many others.    Once I finally did figure out who I was, I was well into my 30's and I'd lost decades to making choices to please those around me.   Just imagine if we never lose ourselves to begin with because we are encouraged - from a very young age to be ourselves.   I wrote this book for my own kids as they head off to kindergarten -which is exactly where all of my people pleasing began!    I hope it gets their big, bright minds thinking about what make them special and unique.
