by Stéphanie Boulay
"Riley is inconsolable. He can't stop crying and nothing is making him feel better. His sister, Regina, tries her best to help him figure out what's wrong, but four-year-old Riley isn't sure. It's not his tummy, or his head, or the monsters under the bed. Regina and their dad try everything they can to make Riley smile, but nothing works until one day Regina has an idea. Maybe it's Riley that is making Riley upset. Regina knows what it feels like to be uncomfortable in her body, but she also knows that she's pretty amazing and really good at a lot of things. So how can she help Riley see that he's pretty amazing and really good at a lot of things? A charming story about a child's search for his true self under the compassionate eye of his older sister." --from Goodreads.com. |
