This new book by , by children's author Assaf Marcus, encourages children to try to become better in all things they do.  Not being good at something, is only a temporary thing, if you are willing to work on it. This book encourages children to accept responsibility, and to try to work harder.  Basically, the young child in the book is a uncut diamond, but with time, he learned he can become a polished one.  I will not retell the story and be redundant, as I see other reviewers have.This is really a lesson in positive self-esteem, and how the people (parents, grandparents, teachers...) in a child's life must help that child meet his inner poetical head on.This is a powerful story, with wonderful illustrations, that will definitely teach you and your children to keep trying to move forward.
