This simple yet empowering story, best suited for one-on-one and small group sharing, is infused with examples of how beauty is defined in many ways.-Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI
As the book recounts the virtues of "beautiful girls," spirited illustrations offer their interpretations: "Beautiful girls move gracefully" describes girls playing soccer, rugby, and wheelchair basketball; "beautiful girls know all about makeup" has the girls covered in stubbly pirate beards. Each new page surprises with its empowered twist on worn-out sentiments, allowing girls to embrace their own brand of "beautiful."
Overall, the problematic issues impact the stories' effectiveness, offering more unsettling moments than laugh-out-loud guffaws.-Meg Smith, Cumberland County Public Library, Fayetteville, NC
This cautionary tale presents the possible repercussions of violence and other forms of mischievous behavior yet also demonstrates how teamwork can help unify and achieve common goals. A good read-aloud and discussion starter for young children.
For those looking to make their collections more diverse and introduce the term Hapa to their patrons, this option fits the bill.-Ramarie Beaver, Plano Public Library System, TX
