"Being accepted is one of life's challenges. A bad case of the stripes is a great book that addresses this. The main character does not want to accept the fact that she is different so she turns into a multicolored person. This book would serve as a great reminder to accept yourself for who your are"

Quotes

  • “This very funny tale speaks to the challenge many kids face in choosing to act independently.”

    — School Library Journal
  • “This charming morality tale could, and I think will, become entrenched in the literary folklore of any family.”

    — Children’s Literature
  • “Shannon’s story is a good poke in the eye of conformity—imaginative, vibrant, and at times good and spooky.”

    " David Shannon is a great little author and illustrator. My children (well, and myself as well!) love his books! Camilla loves lima beans but won't eat them because her friends don't like them. Cute lesson learned about just being yourself, regardless of others. "
