Starfish

Review by daughterpower

I like this book because the moral was no matter what you look like you should always feel proud and be able to STARFISH. I also liked the structure of the book. It was very well written.

Star Fish

Review by Zemirah

I really liked this book because it gave me courage to stand up to bullies who make fun of me because I wear glasses and my hair is very long. There is more to me than my glasses and hair, I am a person, not just an appearance. So what if you are fat?! That does not make you less than or more than. Don't be self conscience you are perfect in HASHEM's eyes, and made you the way you are. If folks have a problem with that then let that be THEIR problem. Sometimes people reflect their own insecurities onto you to make them feel better about themselves, don't take on their baggage and insecurities. Give them grace and walk away.

One of My Favorite Books!

Review by sammycr

This was a very good book. It is told in poems. I liked that the poems told the story without too much to read at once because there was space in between every bunch of words. Normally chapter books aren't my favorite because they are boring in the beginning. But, this one hooked me in at the beginning. It is one of my favorite books.
