We’re a HUGE fan of this It’s Okay to Be Different by Todd Parr, the Review Kids cannot get enough of it! They ask for it to be read every night – an it’s simple enough for the younger ones to remember and re-read to themselves. The bright, fun, unique drawings pull the kids into the story and they feel that it’s OK to be different. They is a silly (“It’s OK to help a squirrel collect nuts”) and serious side to this book touching on different families, adoption, being different shapes and sizes… Todd Parr brings these serious topics down to a child’s level where they can process and understand the ideas and reminds parents to teach their kids about sensitivity and how to be secure within themselves. This book and art is whimsical with a lot of HEART.
Our favorite line “It’s OK to Eat Macaroni and Cheese in the bathtub”… I think we are going to do that right now!
Thanks for stopping by to visit on my SITS day! I will have to check out this book for my nephews. Have a great week!
