About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts comparing their appearance to others or expresses a desire to change who they are to fit an idealized image. It is a perfect tool for navigating early insecurities and the 'grass is greener' mentality that often crops up in preschool and early elementary years. Through the story of Moon Glow, a fish who longs for a more magnificent tail, children see the pitfalls of vanity and the exhaustion of trying to be someone else. This underwater adventure takes readers on a quest involving dragons and sea witches, but the heart of the story is about discovering that our natural traits are often our greatest strengths. It is a gentle yet firm reminder that true self-esteem comes from self-acceptance and the loyalty of friends who love us exactly as we are. Parents will find it particularly useful for reinforcing body positivity and the value of inner character over outward appearance.
