You Are Special (Buddy the Blue Corgi Series) by Suzanna Lynn – Review by Christie Mitchum
You Are Special by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
You Are Special by Suzanna Lynn is a sweet book with a great message.
Buddy is a blue Corgi that looks very different from his siblings. He doesn’t notice that he is blue and all his siblings are tan. One day Nelly, the horse, points out that difference to him, and Buddy is very saddened and believes that he is somewhat less than his brothers and sisters because he doesn’t look like them. His sweet Momma finds him and explains that there is nothing wrong with being different, pointing out other animal families that don’t look exactly the same, such as the two cow siblings who look entirely different from each other and their mother. She also tells him that everyone is unique, which makes each special.
The book is beautifully illustrated, which should engage younger children. It teaches them that we all feel different at one time or another in our lives. However, being different is what makes us all special and unique.
