Bookroo's summary
Ella's first day at a new school doesn't go as planned. Her classmates mock her unique style, leaving her unsure. With her dad's support, Ella discovers the power of being true to herself. Will she find the courage to shine brightly in a world that wants her to dim her light?
From the publisher
Leading actor, producer and director Channing Tatum’s picture book debut is a charming ode to self-esteem and the love between a father and daughter.
Ella is excited for her first day at a new school.
Glimmering pencil case? Check!
Shimmering backpack? Check!
Glittery ribbons in her hair? Check!
She can’t wait to meet the other kids and share her sparkly personality. But her first day doesn’t go quite as planned: Her new classmates don’t like her disco-ball shoes, her PB&J-with-sprinkles sandwich, or her rainbow-y unicorn painting.
Ella decides to try to be less sparkly at school the next day so the other kids won’t make fun of her. But with a little help from her dad, she soon learns the importance of just being herself, no matter what other people say.
