Oh my goodness where to start? There are so many people that need to read this book immediately. Every little girl overweight or not needs to read it. The girls who are overweight need to hear that they are important and that they are not alone. And all girls (maybe even all kids) need to read this book to see the impact bullying has. I also think every mother of daughters should receive this book in the hospital before taking said baby girl home and then must be required to read it again annually. As a mother of two daughters this book struck me right to the heart. At first I thought I don’t have to worry about anything my oldest is only 3, I don’t have to be careful. However, Ellie was only 4, yes FOUR, when she remembers feeling inadequate to her mother. The impact that her mother’s words and actions have on Ellie is heart wrenching. I need to read this book again and again with my girls.
The poetry style writing fits so well. I normally am not a fan of this style but it worked so well here. The cover art gives a good depiction of the book.
I will be recommending this book 100x over to my friends with kids of any ages.
