Nice story about self esteem, but I did not like the art style. Nonetheless, it should inspire and motivate kids to be themselves.

This picture book is about a boisterous little girl who has a larger-than-life personality until those around her tell her to calm down. Quiet yourself and be more meek, be more mild. She does as they tell her to, but she loses herself along the way. It’s grandma who says it’s OK to be who you are, and you should be who you are. That advice running through her brains she finds herself again and vows never go back to being small.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this e-ARC!

This was a really cute children's book about embracing and loving yourself! The art style is bright and fun. My niece also was asking how Amoya was shrinking and growing, which gave me a good laugh. Silly kiddos, not understanding metaphorical stuff. But still, a nice read for kiddos!
