Regina Allen-Wilson's Something About My Face is an appealing and meaningful story appropriate for children from toddler to adolescence. In an era when beauty is defined by a media focused on a flawed definition of perfection--tall, thin, ethereal--children of all ages are struggling to accept their appearance. This book responds to that struggle and reminds children that we are all unique, and that our uniqueness is part of what makes us beautiful. Based on her own experiences with her daughter, the author delivers a gentle, yet unambiguous reminder to parents that their attitudes toward their children, and the words they use to describe them, play a vital role in each child's self-perception and self-confidence. Through the sweet voice of a child and the loving voice of her mother, this book takes a firm stand against a judgmental and often critical society in which children are often our innocent victims.
