Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon, by Patty Lovell and illustrated by David Catrow, is the sweetest little book about a tiny girl who has to move schools and deal with a bully named Ronald Durkin.
Instead of becoming disappointed in Ronald's cruelty, Molly takes lessons that her grandmother has taught her about being herself.
Molly shows everyone that just because she may be short, have a gap between her teeth, and sings like "a bullfrog being squeezed by a boa constrictor;" she is still a bright shinning star.
This book is sure to captivate all ages. It makes the reader fall in love with this underdog character and root for her till the end.
This book is for sale at major book store chains and online at sites like Amazon.com.
"Her grandma had told her, 'Walk as proudly as you can and the world will look up to you.' So she did." -excerpt from Stand tall Molly Lou Melon.
