A fun approach to a poignant narrative about loving your own self and standing up to bullies…
This sweetly adorable story, inspired by Childs’ own experience of being bullied in middle school, mixed with the real-life story and unique characteristics of Henri, Childs’ former French bulldog, is chock-full of heart, soul, and adventure. Henri, a little French Bulldog, is loving his new California life after moving from New York with his mom. Though anxious for his first day of doggy day care, Henri succeeds in making new friends and has a fun day. However, Henri’s habitual snorts soon make him the target of bullies. But what hurts the most is how his new friends refuse to take a stand for him. Will Henri realize he is loveable despite his snorts? Expressed poignantly through simple, rhyming verse, the narrative beautifully conveys the reassuring message that we are all loveable despite our differences. Henri is an endearingly winning protagonist with a distinctive, expressive personality. children will savor Hannah Farr’s vivid, dynamic illustrations that beautifully bring Henri, with all his doggy-antics, to life. With an intriguing storyline and visually expressive protagonist, there is much to keep young readers’ interest. A stunner.
