I personally must have listened to this song at least a million times when it came out, and every time, it still managed to make me tear up while dancing with glee. It taught me about appreciating my body, loving my friends, and most importantly, loving myself. While this book may be geared for children, I think that it's the perfect gift for anyone who needs a little encouragement to be who they are. Recommended By Katherine M., Powells.com
