- Feathered Quill

Perfectly You offers a heartfelt exploration of self-acceptance, delivering its message in a way that will resonate with readers of all ages.

Author Leigh Doest skillfully weaves a touching narrative that encourages children to embrace their individuality and practice kindness toward themselves and others. The rhythmic verses paired with a well-structured plot keep readers engaged as Flo navigates various settings, like her home, school, and interactions with other flamingos. Each experience guides her toward self-discovery.

Flo's journey unfolds gradually, making her emotions relatable and her growth easy to empathize with. Despite the depth of the story, Doest conveys it through clear, concise sentences that I think are perfect for young readers. The illustrations are lively and vibrant and add to the charm of the book. The playful designs and the expressiveness of the flamingos bring the story to life and create a visual experience that enhances the narrative.

Inspiring and beautifully presented, Perfectly You is a fantastic picture book for teaching children to recognize and celebrate their strengths, fostering a positive self-image as they grow. This children's book is a delightful read with an enduring message.
