I'm sure it has been responsible for derailing many young lives.This little book is a great way to gently introduce the concept to young minds. It's okay to not do what everybody else is doing just to fit in; especially if it makes you feel uncomfortable.Such a positive message. Great work Nikki. You must be making such a difference in the hearts and minds of the children (and parents) who read your books." - Country GirlAmazon Customer Review *****"I couldn't love this book any more than I do! I especially love how the author brings to light how much better one feels when they allow themselves to be who they are, and to be kind, and to not follow the crowd. My children took in the message, which isn't overly thrown in your face (so hard to do!), they enjoyed the beautiful artwork and have asked to bring this one out a few times already!" – Katie"My son and I adored this cute, well-illustrated story with an important message! We talked about the part of the story where Camo compliments his friend too and how great it feels to be kind. I especially loved the Camo names and facts at the end as an added bonus! I definitely recommend this sweet and enjoyable story." - Alison Read more
