Regardless of whether you agree with the content in this book, all bears, children and adults should NEVER feel ashamed about who they are. I am a Christian and I am not ashamed of that so why should someone who is a different race, wears glasses, lives with Asperger’s, ADHD, physical differences, being scared, not being able to read or write, or just like bear…no longer being happy as Thomas but finding joy and peace in being Tilly.
I am beyond excited to share this review with you my blog readers, it is one of those books that was hard to put down because it was really that good. If I had more free time this would have been read in one day. So why did I love it so much? Read on to see…
“My name is Malory, I’m 8 years old and I have ADHA. ADHD is short for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It can mean different things for different kids. My mom says that it’s part of what makes me special. She says because of it, I am unique. Being unique means that you are one of a kind. That doesn’t mean I’m alone though”
“Lots of thing have changed since my last first week of school…but all those changes seem little compared to the big change that happened over the summer. Dad moved out. When your parents decide to get a divorce, someone has to leave.”
I find great value in stories like Antoinette because to a child it is simply a story about a dog, her family, her friends, discovering abilities and one missing friend Ooh-La-La!
The book explains to children what type of feelings that may be having and why they may be feeling this way. For example a Sharp feeling such as scared/frightened – Is when a child might feel scared or unsure about something.
