This review is from: The Snowchild (Paperback)
Debi Gliori's book, The Snowchild, is a moving story that teaches children to express themselves instead of trying to be who other people want you to be. In the story, Katie is noticably different than her peers. Because of this, her peers make fun of her and abandon her. As the story exposes, if Katie changed who she was in order to fit in, she would have lost the chance to make her own dreams come true and find true friendship. She doesn't. One morning, after a brilliant snowfall, she walks past her peers and finds her own space in order to do what no one else is doing, build a snowman. By expressing her uniqueness, she meets her true friend and soulmate! This is a great story to impress upon your children and to remind adults that every created person has unique gifts and talents to give to the world and that we should honor our children's unique gifts instead of pressuring them into fitting in.
