What a Bragger!
Lee Ann Mancini
Melissa likes to brag. She's always comparing everything she has to everyone else and announcing that what she has is better. Her friend, Corey, is angry and frustrated with Melissa. But his mom reminds him to pray for Melissa and treat her with kindness. Corey learns that Melissa is bragging to cover up her poverty. So when the teacher plans a birthday party he enlists his friends to help him make Melissa feel loved and special. As an added bonus to the story, there is a little fish symbol that children can look for on each page.
I received this book free of charge from BookCrash in exchange for my honest review.
The bright,
colorful illustrations fill each page. The vocabulary fits well with the
intended age group. The story is sweet and entertained my children. The
messages were faith based and my children were discussing them long after the
book was finished. I also enjoyed the book, but especially appreciated the
message of Christ-like love that was mixed in with the story. The story is rich
with teachable moments. Parents and teachers will be able to use this book to
teach messages about people who are different from us, having compassion,
treating others with kindness regardless of their actions, thankfulness, and so
much more.
