Picture Book
This is a beautifully illustrated book about a young girl who cares too much about what other people think. I think this is a great lesson for children to hear because everyone encounters this issue at some point in their life. The moral of this story is that everyone is different and that we're all a little weird but that's okay because it makes us who we are. The main character, Camilla, hides her originality in order to be liked by kids at school, but she soon learns the valuable lesson that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as she is happy. I remember reading this story as a kid and I was always fascinated with the pictures. They are so colorful, original, and beautiful that this became one of my favorite picture books simply because of the amazing illustrations. I would read this to my classroom of young children because I think they would enjoy the story and pictures as much as I did.
