Every child is a marvel, a unique and irreplaceable gift to the world-but, down deep, not every child believes it. It’s up to us-parents, teachers and grandparents-to let our children know that they are loved and treasured just as they are. That’s what makes I Love Monkey such a special book. Throughout the book Monkey tries to be something special—a squirrel, a bunny, a grasshopper, a fish. But Monkey finally realizes that the most special thing of all is to just be yourself—no one in the whole wide world can ever do that better than you.
