BAD CASE OF STRIPES

This book talks about a little girl who was so concerned about what others would think about her and how it made life difficult for herself.

Excellent quality book. The story is also very good. Would recommed the book to all parents as the moral of the story is very important for all the school going children.

The story and concept are wonderfully unique. Although the print and paper quality is horrible and makes it look cheap.

日本語の翻訳版を読んで、ぜひ原版も読んでみたいと購入しました。 学校での周りの目を気にするあまりとんでもないことになってしまうカミーラですが、最後にははっきりと主張し、そして自分に自信を持つことがどんなに幸せで誇らしいことであるかを教えてくれます。 時々原作の良さが英語と日本語の違いによってほんの少し失われてしまう翻訳絵本もありますが、これを読んで翻訳版もとても素晴らしく訳してあるんだなぁとあらためて思いました。

My first memory I have of this is book is of me stealing my sister's copy from our shared bookshelf and hiding it in my room, so I could keep it for myself. I loved it that much. I couldn't remember why I loved it so much until revisited it as an adult. I was not only addicted to the fun colors, but I also loved the meaning behind this story. The story is about a girl named Camilla Cream who is afraid of liking things that her friends don't like. So, she gets taught a lesson by having pattern-changing skin. When she goes to school after figuring out she is not physically ill, she finds that everyone laughs at her. Her skin patterns ends up dramatizing what's its like for people to laugh at you, even when you're different. It teaches kids that no matter what, not everyone is going to like you or your choices, but it's worth it to just be yourself. I feel like this is a fantastic lesson to engrain in kids' heads early because once they hit middle school, being liked by everyone usually becomes top priority. Thinking back on my own middle school life though, I never seemed to care what people thought of my wardrobe choices. I felt confident (most of the time) and enjoyed being gawked at in the halls for wearing odd things. They weren't super weird clothing, it was just different. I'm going to pretend like this book helped me become who I am today and who knows, maybe it did.

Happy to have read this book! Lovely message behind

One of my daughter’s favourite book. She’s 8. She always pulled this one out of her shelf. It’s a very meaningful and magical story. It’s perfect for kids at this age trying to fit in…
