The Adventures of Auggie Otter: It’s Okay To Be You

The Adventures of Auggie Otter: It's Okay To Be YouWhen Auggie Otter realizes that the other Sea Creatures might see him as a bit different, he worries. The very things he likes to do the best-collect and categorize shells, and spin round and round to feel a sense of calm-these seem to be the reason the other children don’t like him. As Auggie journeys through an undersea world, his mother teaches him that we are all special, we are all unique, and “it’s okay to be you.”

A book for anyone who has ever felt judged because they are different. Follow sweet Auggie through the beautifully illustrated pages to see how everyone does things differently. Discover that it is our differences that make us who we are, and it’s okay to be you.

OUR REVIEW

The Adventures of Auggie Otter: It’s Okay To Be You is a children’s picture book written by Paul DiPietro and illustrated by Jennifer Lenox. Filled with beautifully illustrated pictures and simple text, this book is an absolute treat for children and adults alike!
Charming from the start, this whimsically illustrated story follows Auggie Otter who gets laughed at because he is different. All the otters in his class make fun of Auggie when he collects and categorizes shells and spins round and round to focus and relax. His mother helps Auggie realize that “Everyone is special, everyone is unique, it’s ok to be different, it’s ok to be you“. With the help of his mother, Auggie becomes confident and is proud of who he is. He stands up for himself and teaches others to be proud and brave to love themselves, and to accept everyone who is unique.
This positive and empowering picture book, by author Paul DiPietro, will help kids to embrace who they are and look for their unique potential and become strong, happy, awesome adults. Illustrations in vibrant colours perfectly match this celebration of self-love and acceptance. The Adventures of Auggie Otter: It’s Okay To Be You cleverly delivers the important messages of acceptance, understanding, and confidence in an easy, child-friendly format. Targeted at young kids first beginning to read, this book will inspire kids to celebrate their uniqueness.

FINAL VERDICT

Overall, It’s Okay To Be You is a sweet, quick read that your little ones will be sure to love.  Like the little bird, many kids are not satisfied with their lives and hopefully, this book will help them to cope with self-doubt and offer them an opportunity to discuss their feelings!
