But it is truly hard to accept those differences about ourselves and embrace them instead. Definitely need more books like these! Fabulous review! Love the shoes too! :o)The1stdaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701783270303914306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042548341447954983.post-87220372687395940942011-03-24T11:49:18.546-05:002011-03-24T11:49:18.546-05:00Teresa: Words echoed by most caring parents.

Same deal with the teachers it seems was felt by many a reader (as Liz mentioned it above herself). Commendable steps in keeping your toddler free of "negative" words....so long as you remember (and remind them) that in the outside world that "balance" isn't as easy to control. Thanks for sharing your two cents...always welcome. ^_^Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042548341447954983.post-4009302535608284102011-03-24T11:12:26.902-05:002011-03-24T11:12:26.902-05:00Great review.

While I think that the message of accepting the differences in others is a good one, I didn't care for the execution. Stupid and ugly are both words that I am trying to avoid with my precocious toddler. I would have preferred a more positive spin. Just my two cents.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337919035210017251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042548341447954983.post-61538521682971449692011-03-24T10:44:23.783-05:002011-03-24T10:44:23.783-05:00LOL..
