Very sweet and cute. My daughter's name is Adeline so it was a "must buy" for us!

We read both of Adeline's books almost nightly during our reading time. Not only does our 5 year old daughter repeat all the words but also our 2 year old son. The message in these books is so amazing for a child to hear. I am having a sign reciting the entire verse that begins "How you look little one cannot measure your worth...." made to hang in her room as a constant reminder that what matters is what God sees and that is what is in our hearts. I am so proud of them for being so interested in these books and will read it until it falls apart if that is what they continue to choose.
Wow! I want to get this for every little girl I know!

What a wonderful message for building a child's self-esteem, especially for girls. In such an unkind world where meanness, teasing, and bullies are pretty much a childhood given, children need to know where their worth really comes from. This book is a great teaching tool for a topic that is sometimes hard to explain and that needs a lot of repetition for it to stick.
