With a sigh, she went pacing before a large mirror that stood,
Remarking: “Ugh! I’m hideous! None of this looks very good!”
After struggling to find the perfect outfit, Emily Soo dances the night away at a fun party. But when she gets home, her inner voice Emily Two tries to put a damper on her evening.
Confronting our thoughts, fully facing tough emotions, and affirming ourselves can be difficult.Can Emily Soo find it within herself to squash her Worry and Woe?
My Review
What an incredible story! I think Emily is relatable to everyone, we’ve all found ourselves doing this exact thing. We all have a number 2 in our lives that tell us we aren’t good enough, someone else is better. It’s just our own worries and insecurities though. It’s so important for children to read and learn this lesson. Drew has a witty way with words that reminded me so much of Dr. Seuss. The story is so much fun to read, flowing beautifully. The illustrations were a ton of fun. Even the different fonts helped distinguish between the Emily’s. Overall I thought it was a fantastic book that should be in the hands on every child!
