3 ⭐ This book is fine. The illustrations are soft and dreamlike and while the story does rhyme and does have a cadence, that cadence is soft in areas. The story‘s about how everyone‘s different and that is perfectly OK because everyone is who they were made to be. I like the message in this book and overall it works well. But to me it‘s only so so.

4 ⭐ Joe is a little boy. A little boy who is tired of being considered amazing. He‘s just a normal kid. He‘s no more amazing than his best friend. But he constantly gets told how amazing he is. What Joe is is a one-legged student. Joe is different but being different is normal. Being different is not amazing. Save amazing for when things are amazing. The message in this book is fantastic. The message is treat me like everybody else.

4 ⭐ This book sounds like Kristen Bell. It does have a co-author in Benjamin Hart, but it feels like Kristen Bell. The woman you see in interviews, in movies, on podcasts. This feels like her. The book is mainly about being yourself and helping others and the more you do that the more purple you become. That we are all better together when we help everyone else out. I love this. It‘s a nice concept. The idea is there. I think it‘s presented well.

Doing a unit about respect and having the kindergartners read to me. This book amazed them. We talked about who in our school should talk to the bad boy so he can turn in the same direction as the other kids on the last page.
