My Review: Molly Lou Melon is adorable. She's is everything that the summary entails and - because her grandmother is such a wise woman - proud of it. When the vertically-challenged Molly Lou moves to a new school and starts getting picked on, she holds her head high, stays true to herself, and doesn't give up. I absolutely love this book! From the exaggerated illustrations of the wonderful David Catrow to it's sweet and powerful moral message, Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon is a book that I will read to my children until the cover falls off...and then I'll go buy another one.
My Rating: 5 Stars
Sum it up: A wonderful example of how be proud of who you are and to love what makes you unique.

You know I love this book. Tessa, a budding song writer, has been walking around the house for months singing "be your whole self, be your whole self" and I finally just realized that this concept (though not the exact words) came from this book.
Yes I do. You are the person who introduced me to this book and I am so glad you did. I am always on the lookout for books that address self-esteem in children.
