This seems like an adorable children's book with a beautiful message. Children will learn that it's okay to be yourself even if you're different. This will be a perfect addition to our classroom library, and I'm sure the kids will enjoy the bright illustrations. Congrats on the BOTD selection!

This book teaches a much more important topic which needs to be encouraged among children that they are unique in their own. Thanks for the review!

First of all, let me say thank you for sharing about your childhood past and on into your adult life with us. I’m so sorry for all that. You are a very important and valued person. Being just as you are is truly a priceless gem. I too, was made to try to live to please others and mold into ‘other’ people’s mental molds, so I do “get it”. 👍❤️☹️
You did an excellent review here. I loved the book. The parts referring to God and being loved by Him were an added bonus for me personally. It was a very cute and meaningful book.

This is good advice; using your bad situation to make something good out of it. Plus, I think Jessie's nick name sounds cool for a kid.

Bullying is bad no matter how it presents itself, but bullying a kid is especially terrible. I like the affirmations that Jessie has to make on her journey to healing and accepting herself.

Being worthy as we are is a good message for both kids and adults alike. It is good the author does a good job of reminding children that they are okay as they are, it is okay to be different, and to be kind to others.

I love the message here, that we can shape our views of ourselves, no matter what other people say. I’m not big on the explicit Christian themes, but if it’s just limited to what’s excerpted in the review, I don’t have as much of a problem with it. Thank you for the helpful review.

A story with incredible moral lessons for kids is worth the time to read. I also like how the message is conveyed in a friendly and comforting manner. For sure the story will touch the hearts of many readers. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

The adventures of Jessie would fit night times with my kids. I'll read it out to them. I hope they would get addicted to Jessie's character, it's possible!

Although am not a lover of children books. I picked a point from this review that little things easily gets to these children especially when you make them feel bad. Congrats on being the book of the day.

Your review has a nice personal feel to it. However well intended their actions may be, adults can still end up giving children bad guidance as in your case. Also, the recommendations on who the book is suitable for are well considered.

This adorable children's book has a great message. It will definitely instill self-acceptance and being true to yourself. I love that the mom doesn't try to get Jessie to change something about herself to stop the bullying, but rather to own the things that make her different. Thanks for the great review!
