This is a story that teaches children to stand up for their feelings and needs by saying no when it’s appropriate.  It is a great book for helping children learn to be strong and independent of social pressure.

There are parent helps at the end of the book with insights into how children develop a good self image, with actual suggestions you can apply as they teach their child.

The pictures are colorful and simple.  The font is east to read, although the thought bubbles have a cursive, more difficult font for a young reader to read.

There is a typo on page 7 second paragraph, it says, “Jills hugs Hopper.”
