A truly wonderful middle-grade novel. This book will certainly be featured on my shelves when I get my own classroom as an elementary school teacher.
The story follows Ester, a humorous and whip-smart 12-year-old girl full of good intentions and mischief. She's predisposed to climb anything and everything showing readers that young girls can and should innately trust their bodies. The story is filled with strong women (sisters, aunts, friends) a has many important messages including...
• Understand that it’s important to trust your sense of right and wrong and that adults can be wrong
• The importance of apologies, including from adults to kids
• Having grace with mistakes and learning from them
• The joy of childhood and exploration and not growing up to fast
