With her latest book FAUX PAW Julia Dweck hits some seriously powerful philosophies. And it's all so much fun dressed up in a Faux Fur bear suit. Our hero, Walden, has the right instincts when he becomes upset because his teacher has given him bad advice. Bad because it's negative: You can't do this, you can't do that. He knows better and his mother (who is also our hero) backs him up big time.Letting kids in on ideas like believing in yourself and striving to be what you want to be are invaluable. Teachers take note. Our kids have incredible imaginations and they need to be supported, encouraged and nurtured.As expected Dweck's choice of illustrators is right on the money. Walter Carzon has the stories' characters bursting off the page.Please read this wonderful book to your kids many times. It's a good lesson for all ages!
