Do your kids love to read? My kids do and I know they got it from me. My husband listens to books all the time but he’s not much of a reader. However, both of us feel it’s important to read to our kids every day. Janine is a children’s book about being different and encouraging kids to be what they want rather than what someone wants them to be. This book is about a kid in Janine’s class throwing a party and all the COOL kids are invited except Janine. See how she handles the situation. Will she dare to be different or change to suit her bully?
ABOUT THE BOOK
Meet Janine. She is one of a kind! Janine dresses a little different, remembers random facts, reads the dictionary for fun, and has her own style of cheering. Nobody does things the way Janine does things! One girl in Janine’s class is throwing a party and all the COOL kids are invited. But Janine is not cool. Some kids think she is strange and want her to change. Will Janine try to be different or just be her spectacular self? In this charming story, author Maryann Cocca-Leffler uses her own daughter as inspiration for a delightfully spunky character. Janine Leffler focuses on the positive while navigating life with disabilities and has become a role model to children and adults, encouraging them to focus on abilities and promoting respect, tolerance, and kindness.

Janine looks like a wonderful children’s book. Great Review.
Great Book, thanks.
My niece reads a book almost every school day.
This sounds like a book I wish I had for my son when he was little. He has disabilities and kids can be so cruel. I hope this book helps kids learn about what a bully is and to always be kind to others!!
This is an extremely cute book that would be great for any child.
