Title: A good lesson for eating lima beans
Review: This beautifully illustrated book gives parents and teachers a lot of discussion points for helping children accept differences and accept themselves. Camilla loves lima beans, but doesn't eat them because the other kids don't like them. She doesn't want to be different. Unfortunately she wakes up for the first day of school with a bad case of the stripes. She goes to school where she is teased. Camilla was always worried about being different and having people dislike her. There are little lessons about being yourself interspersed subtly throughout the book. And of course at the end Camilla realizes she likes her lima beans so why not eat them!
