Review of You’re Special Wherever You Are
Robin McCoy posted this review at the Inspired By Savannah blog:
“I loved the moral this book shares with children — you are special, no matter how or what you look like. The book is broken down into three stories about a zebra, camel and dragon. My favorite story out of the three was about the Charlie Zee. At first he didn’t know why he was black and white and didn’t like how he stuck out when playing hide and seek, but in the end he learned he was black and white striped because it protected his skin from the heat and sun of the Serengeti. And, in the end, through his courage and kindness he saved the day and his friend’s lives by helping lead them to taller grass, where they would be protected from the heat and dry spell. If it wasn’t for Charlie Zee and his stripes, his friend’s would not have survived the heat of the Serengeti.
The other two stories were cute, but I especially loved the illustrations in the Charlie Zee story, and have a love of zebras. I can’t wait until Savannah is a little older and can understand the moral of the stories. With so much pressure put on children and teens today to look a certain way, it is nice to see a book that celebrates them for who they are and by being unique, they are truly special.”
Thanks, Robin!
