My students responded to this book with audible gasps and sighs of relief. I thought the way the book was made was more interesting than the book.
A fun inspirational feel good middle grade read. I loved the multiple perspectives, the themes of kindness, and its realistic feel. What wasn't realistic was how focused the kids were on dating and the occasional cringy dialogue (“flat“ being one cringy word I didn't like). I'm also mad Jack didn't get an award at the end. But otherwise a good read.
After reading the Red Jacket, I let the kids design their own. They needed to include infinite pockets and this kid chose kittens. I need a kitten now.
4.5 ⭐ This would be so much fun at story time. For me this would probably go on rotation. The cadence is masterful the rhymes all work. Add the illustrations in this book are close to perfect. It‘s funny it‘s entertaining. It has heat and not only will kids, but I and other adults will love it too.
3.5 ⭐Once again this book feels like Kristen Bell. It has the same message as the “The World Needs More Purple People”. That message is to be who you are but to also listen and look after others. To ask questions to be respectful and give others as much time as you want for yourself. That everybody is equal because they are a person. I love the message of this book and the ideas behind it.
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.
