Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
In my work with children and related to my work with patient caregiving, I saw the need for a book that appealed to children. The story is told in a clear and simple style that shows a child the positive effects of acceptance and working with the gifts they are given at birth. Life lessons abound in this book as children are taught to rejoice in who they are and how wonderful it is to recognize this powerful fact!

Doug is precious!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oh Doug! A Dragonfly's Day (Paperback)
Doug is typical of what a lot of children are like these days-always thinking that life is better somewhere, or as someone, else. In the end, Doug realizes a valuable life lesson-we must all make the best of our own gifts and talents.

It's spectacular!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oh Doug! A Dragonfly's Day (Paperback)
It was a creative idea of how you should be yourself, and not anyone else. I thought that Ann Leach is a creative writer and has a creative mind. I liked the story because it showed how you should be yourself and you're special in your own way.

Excellent resource for early childhood self image,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oh Doug! A Dragonfly's Day (Paperback)
DOUG is an excellent resource for my teachers to use in working with students on self-image, acceptance of those around us, and overall self worth. Students respond well to text and illustrations by the author and illustrator. This is a welcome addition to our school counseling collection.
