Four Point Five Stars
The book is a beautiful read. In Leah's home pantry, the other ingredients think that Hammy is not a special ingredient. But then one day when granny is on the way home, disaster strikes with the celebration dinner. I enjoyed the illustrations and the simple tale of confidence that Hammy had in himself and how he was useful on the day that granny came. There was also a procedure to prepare musubi and it was a lovely read. Enjoyable read for both adults and children.

What a Blessing!
This was a unique book to read with several valuable lessons. I like the way there was an appreciation for Hawaiian culture. Including a Hawaiian recipe was a special added touch. Having Hammy rise above criticism showed great courage on his part and taught his peers that he did not need to be like them to have value. My favorite lesson was in seeing the family pull together when things seemed to fall apart.

Beyond the Label: a Story of Self-Worth: Confidence, Self-Worth, Self-esteem, Self-acceptance, and Believing in Yourself by Katrina Liu – This was an Amazon freebie. I loved this adorable family story, and I think any little reader would as well! Happy Reading!
