It sort of skips the whole 'feel good about yourself in a vague way' message and goes right to the 'here is precisely why you should feel good about yourself'. I really appreciate that. --School Library Journal, Fuse 8 Blog Author InformationOlive Senior is the prize-winning author of a dozen books of fiction, poetry and non-fiction.
