Adorable story, awesome illustrations, great mentor text for teaching theme
I love the illustrations in this book. The story shows how adults in a child's life can help them to feel great about themselves. The world can be cruel, but the message they get at home can overcome that. I adore Molly Lou Melon's confidence and wish every child could have this.
older childrens books can be so much lol
i see the potential for a role model story time, molly lou melon as a role model to ronald and other students, and her grandma as a role model for self love to her

This is my favorite book from my childhood so much so that I even preached at a children's camp and used this book as an example of gifts from god and how we can use them. If that isn't love for a book idk what is.
Loved the book and the message. The kids loved it too.
Molly is a young girl with many things that make her different. Despite her short stature and unpleasant voice, she is able to live happily with herself thanks to the guiding wisdom of her grandmother. When she has to move and attend a new school, a bully takes aim at Molly. She keeps on with her positive nature and is able to change the bully’s opinion.
I think the idea behind the book is a nice wholesome one. Self acceptance and positivity in the face of adversity are nice lessons for children to learn. I just didn’t feel that this story showed them in a realistic or accessible way. It seemed like Molly never had any kind of personal struggle with the bullying. She was able to brush it off time and time again with no negative feelings. I would’ve preferred to see her falter a little and then regain her confidence, which would’ve made her much more relatable and realistic. I also didn’t like the illustration style, which was too cartoony and exaggerated for my taste.

This is our second Molly Lou Melon book ( we had previously read Have Fun, Molly Lou Melon ) and this book was sooooooo good!!! Restored my faith in the series to be quite frank. My 4 YOs thoroughly enjoyed Molly navigating the challenges the school bully poses. He makes comments on her physical appearance, on her voice and even her abilities. I liked the grace of Molly's responses and were beautiful examples to my kids. This book makes want to pick up another one from this series. Skip Have Fun Molly Lou Melon if you must, but Be Brave, Molly Lou Melon is a lovely lovely read! ❤️
