5 STARS
Follow Rosie as she helps Ray on his journey to find happiness within himself. This story contains a great message and has beautiful illustrations to go along with the story.
I'm a home school mom and a librarian, in my opinion this book is a gateway to discussions about being different, accepting others and yourself, and loving who you are. I for one would not want to live in a world where there were no Rosie's.
I would highly recommend reading this story with your children.
