Unique Monique is an engaging picture book story by Maria Rousaki about a young girl who wants to be different - and the school uniform she has to wear doesn't help with her problem! So when she finds an old trunk belonging to her mother, she finds ways to bend the rules and truly stand out. No matter what she tries, the principal keeps banning her... until the braces a dentist appointment places on her teeth makes her truly "unique Monique." A lighthearted story with whimsical and wonderful color illustrations by Polina Papanikolaou, Unique Monique shows young readers age 5 to 9 a fun side to having to wear teeth-straighteners.

I loved the pictures in this book. Monique wants to be special so she dresses up to be diffrent. When she wears
braces it was cool. Her teachers say no to everything she wears. They have to wear a special suit to school!

When i gave this book to my little one-she was in a private school just like the girl in the book-it was totally a story of her. It is a good story to show little girls that it's okay to be different from everyone else. I really like the story. I think the best part is that there's actually a book named after my daughter-it's hard to find books named after people.
