Description: Herman Jiggle feels like he's different from other kids. His hair is too wild and spikey. His shoes are too slow and clunky. And his teeth don't even wiggle!
He wants to be like everyone else and will try anything to fit in. If that means cementing his hair down with glue, he'll do it. If that means giving up his favorite pair of shoes, he'll do it. He will even try taking out his tooth the hard way if it gives him a hole like the ones his friends have. Before he tries changing himself again, can his loving mom teach Hermie how to love and celebrate his own unique spirit and talents?Brief description:
Julia Cook, a former school counselor and teacher, has written many books on behavior and health for children. Julia has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving parents and educators the "what to say" and "how to say it to kids." Her ultimate goal is to make a positive difference in the lives of children, parents and educators by teaching lifelong problem-solving skills to kids.
Review Quotes: Ever feel like you are left out and feel "abnormal"? Well, it's time to read this book to the kids who feel different and left out when other kid's experience changes while growing up. Herman feels he's quite different from his friends and wants to fit in. So he's trying to be like the other kids but is getting frustrated. Until he's being told that he's perfect as he is. Not everyone needs to be the same! I love the writing and the illustrations. So well done! - R.T. Reviewer
