This Week’s Book: The Sparkly Bun by Keith Ktoeckeler

Blurb (From Amazon):

“The Sparkly Bun” is a captivating children’s book that encourages imagination, self-esteem, self-expression, and self-discovery. It tells the story of Emme, a girl who loves fashion and has a passion for her favorite item, her sparkly bun.

However, when Emme wears her favorite clothing to school two days in a row, her classmates make fun of her. This causes Emme to question if being different is a good thing. Throughout the book, Emme learns that it takes courage. Still, it’s essential to be true to oneself, express one’s individuality, and that being different makes us all special and gives us our own identity.

This children’s book emphasizes the difference between fitting in and being true to oneself and how creativity and imagination can help children embrace their uniqueness, all through a creative and unique approach — food.

With its charming illustrations and heartwarming story about empowerment and confidence, “The Sparkly Bun” is a must-have for any child’s library. It encourages children to embrace their identity, pursue self-expression, and celebrate self-discovery.

Reasons I chose this book:

The illustrations in this book are sooo cute! I also love the message that it pushes. Being unique and yourself is so important. I wish I was encouraged to do that more when I was a kid. I absolutely adored it!
