Reggie hears other girls in her class talk about dyeing their hair and wearing makeup for their class picture. This makes her feel bad about her own appearance, with her big, red mane and freckles. But try as she might, Reggie can't seem to cover up her hair or freckles. Her mom passes down some family wisdom about inner beauty, which helps not only Reggie feel better, but also helps another girl feel better too. This book about self-love and inner beauty will speak to young readers who might feel self-conscious as they compare themselves to peers.
