Here’s Lily

(4th grader at Central Christian Academy)

I just read a children’s book called Here’s Lily. This book is about a girl named Lily Robbins. Lily is in the middle school and gets teased by a boy named Shad Shifferdecker a lot because of her hair! Her hair is bright red. Lily often worries about how she looks. She gets an unexpected invitation to be in a model search fashion show and Lily becomes obsessed with modeling, fashion, and make-up. Before the big show, the unexpected happens though, and Lily must face her biggest fears. This is a great book for girls ages three through five.

I liked the book because it teaches that what really matters in God’s sight is inner beauty. There is a great Christian message which is hard to find in most books for girls. A lot of people think that outer beauty is what matters, but this book teaches a good lesson on what true beauty really is. I would recommend this book because a lot of girls do not understand inner beauty. I give this book five stars and two thumbs up.
