Twinkle

Twinkle is a fun and brilliant young girl with a heart brimming with creativity. When her world is suddenly turned upside down after hearing hurtful words from others, Twinkle embarks on a journey of self-discovery and quickly realizes that being like everyone else is just plain dull. From author Jenna Morgan comes Twinkle, a delightful rhyming illustrated story that celebrates uniqueness and loving oneself.

With her telltale spiritedness and exuberance, Twinkle loves nothing more than wrestling with her brothers and wearing her sparkly (and often muddy) boots. She has a self-assuredness that makes her twinkle-just like her name-but not everyone embraces her strength, confidence, and uniqueness. Her peers simply think she is loud, boisterous, and messy, and they let her know it with their stinging taunts. After having enough of others' criticisms, Twinkle attempts to fit in with everyone else. Despite her efforts, others still find ways to be hurtful, and her mom reminds her that daring to be herself is what makes her truly twinkle. And, pulling up her sparkly boots, she embraces all the things that make her different, finally feeling beautiful in confident in her own skin.

Families and educators of young children will delight in this impactful social-emotional learning story about remaining true to oneself and being brave in a sometimes-unkind world.
