Seeing the Best In You,
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handsome Me (Paperback)
In the age of Columbine and rampant bullying, a book encouraging the development of a positive self-image is not only nice to have, but necessary. Wanda Thomas' HANDSOME ME is just this type of book. Trevor, a young African-American adolescent, is smart, athletic, handsome and fairly self-confident. However, when he overhears a group of girls calling him ugly, he begins to feel down about himself. After returning home, Trevor heads to his bedroom for some serious self-reflection and discovers he has a lot of positive attributes and isn't so bad after all.
HANDSOME ME is a noble effort on the part of Ms. Thomas to provide children's literature with positive messages. The plot serves as a reminder to parents that it doesn't take much to wound a child's delicate self-esteem. Trevor's way of dealing with his tarnished self-image provides an example for young readers in similar circumstances. However, the book's happy ending was a little too quick and took away from the overall realism of the story. In spite of this, HANDSOME ME is a good introduction and starting point from which parents can delve deeper into issues of self-image with their children.
