See, I promised y'all a book review, and here you go!!
Billy Blue the Caribou is the most adorable little book by S.E. Smith. Mrs. Smith originally came up with the story to help teach her young developmentally delayed daughter that differences are wonderful, and to encourage her. Soon, she realized that it appealed to a much larger audience, as all seven of her children loved the story!
Billy Blue the Caribou is the story of Billy Blue the Caribou, Rose Red the Hammerhead, Yellow Ty the Dragonfly, and Purple Pat the Tabby Cat. As they spend the day together playing in the park, they come to realize that learning more about what makes them different is so much fun! The hand-drawn pictures in the book are just simply adorable, and, although it's definitely for young children, my 9, 8, and 3 year olds all listened attentively and very much enjoyed the book! We would very much recommend this book for any child's library!
You can get Billy Blue the Caribou on Amazon for $12.75 (the book is eligible for Super Saver shipping, so I'd put it with another book order to save there). Half of the profit of the book sales go to Mrs. Smith's local crisis pregnancy center... always a worthy cause!!
