My Thoughts
I really loved this book and cannot wait for my daughters to read it. I feel like it is very relatable to my girls I know the character Lily faces the same issues my girls have come home from school complaining about. I love how the book is very clean and throughout the book Lily is trying to figure where God fits into what makes her feel good in life. I read this book in one day; it’s a very easy book to read. Lily is very relatable and the book left me wanting to get more books about Lily. It teaches kids that you may not always be able to stop teasing but you can always feel good about yourself no matter what.
