Book Review: "FREE TO BE" FILLS ME WITH GLEE!
Summary: 5 Stars
When my mother bought me FREE TO BE YOU AND ME almost 25 years ago, I fell in love with it. I can still recite many of the poems and stories by heart. The messages are timeless. Originally published during a time when the women's movement was strong and sensitive men were becoming en vogue, this book encouraged us to be "free to be you and me." It reminds us that no matter what our gender is, we can pursue any career path ("Boy meets Girl"), play with dolls ("William's Doll") or cry aloud ("It's Alright to Cry"). In a world plagued with violence and insensitivities, it is refreshing to read a book that encourages family values and honest pleasures. It is far more stimulating than any video game or television show because it encourages children to use their imagination. I highly recommend this uplifting, sing-song, esteem-building, book. It features poems and stories by renowned artists such as Carly Simon, Judy Blume, and Shel Silverstein. Their messages touch our hearts in a very human way, getting to the core of who are and who we choose to be. For adults, the effect is reassuring; for children, it's magical!
