Author Bio:

At age thirteen Natalie Tinti is a multi-award winning author, illustrator, of 12 children’s books and an inspirational public speaker who promotes varied uplifting messages for her peers as well as their parents. Despite this early success as an artist Natalie was recommended to repeat Kindergarten as her teacher thought she didn’t have adequate language function and memory recall. However, this apparent set back would later serve as a valuable growth experience in her social awareness and desire to help her classmates. Natalie’s books gave her a platform for speaking at various venues where she promoted the empowerment of children to include: the value of social skills for overall happiness and as a tool in dealing with bullies, appreciating one’s unique talents and personality to bolster self-confidence, and challenging children of all ages to build friendships by having the courage to include others.

My Review:
This was an interesting read, and it held my attention with no problem. It teaches kids about imaginations, friendship, and most of all to be themselves. I liked that there is something going on with the dog. There is something going on there. I also liked the way each character had their own talent, and were true to themselves. They drawings looked like they were drawn by a child, and that makes the book easy for the kids reading to relate to. I also liked that the girls were worried about their friend, and thought of ways to make her feel better. I would have liked a male character though. The words were easy to understand, especially for young readers.
I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
