You are the Perfect You
by
Melinda Gibbons
Tex just wants to find a friend but gains a whole lot more! Tex is a little T-rex with a big heart. After being teased by some of the other young dinosaurs, he wanders off, feeling sad and lonely. When he comes across several dinosaurs in trouble, Tex does his best to help them and learns that what makes you different is also what makes you special. In this heartwarming adventure, Tex shares valuable life lessons about empathy, kindness, and self-acceptance, even in the face of bullying. This beautifully illustrated picture book helps children build reading skills through rhyme while reminding them to love themselves just the way they are.
