Molly Lou Melon is short, has buck
teeth, bug eyes, and voice like a bull
frog, but that doesn’t keep her from
trying to make friends at her new
school. Even when the class bully,
Ronald Durkin, calls her “shrimpo” and
tries to make fun of her appearance,
Molly remembers the encouraging words
of her grandmother, "Believe in
yourself and the world will believe in
you too!" With Molly’s determined
spirit, she quickly turns what others
may perceive as flaws into talents.
A delightfully illustrated book that
emphasizes the power of self-esteem.
