Lily's Deliciously Different Day

by Yvette Grove, Tabitha Bogard (Illustrator)

Lily wants to be like everyone else, one day she gets her wish and it goes terribly wrong! Lily wakes up and her whole world is the same! Her clothes, the neighborhood, school, activities and even her favorite place - Mrs. Mae's garden. Finding encouragement from an unlikely source, a hummingbird named Ruby, Lily and her best friend Desi discover that the world is quite dreadful when everything is the same. They discover that it's not only delicious to be different but the world doesn't work when everything is the same. You will be taken through a delightful work of art where the dynamic illustrations exemplify the basis of the story, therefore reinforcing the objective - "It's Delicious to be Different!"

*blows raspberry*

I like the cover, but generally this book is too wordy and preachy. I don't like picture books that are so obviously moralizing.

Lily's Deliciously Different Day is a beautifully written book for children of all ages. Lily, like most children, feels the need to be like everyone else. By taking an adventure, along with Lily, through a day of sameness, children learn the value and pleasure of being uniquely different.

This is a sweet picture book for children who might be having doubts about their right to be individuals. If a child is having issues with "fitting in" at school or in other peer settings, especially girls, give them a copy of Lily's eye-opening day. The story makes good points about how dull the world would be if we and everything in it were all the same. The illustrations are unique and colorful.
