A great book for children. This book teaches self-acceptance and empathy to children. It would be a great book for Storytime. This book teaches self-acceptance and that differences are okay. A great story that appeals to both young and old readers. Children will enjoy the illustrations and the message that they are perfect the way that they are. ( )

The book The Ugly Duckling is a confident building and inspiring book for students to love the beauty they have. A swan that was hatch in a duck nest is verbal branded for being different , as well being belittle for being different. Through time he eventually understand his beauty and learns about his uniqueness . This award wining book , will go great when introducing students into fiction story’s as well helping them develop self confidence. ( )
