Delightfully Different Dilly

by Elizabeth Dale

Book Overview

When Dilly is born, her parents think she is perfect--from the top of her head to the bottom of her foot. The other babies notice that Dilly is different but soon accept her and love her different ways of doing things. The adults aren't sure though, they love how all the penguins are the same. Can the younger generation convince their parents that there's space for Dilly? And maybe that positive change can be a good thing?

A charming and touching...

Delightful!

Such a "delightful" book! I think kids all over the globe are going to fall in love with little Dilly. This is such a fantastic way to spread the message to little kids that everyone's differences can be used and seen in a positive light. All of us look different, act different, talk different, yet, that doesn't mean we should treat each other differently. Dilly was born with one leg/foot instead of two, but he didn't let that stop him. Instead of walking, he hopped. In the end, his diversification was used in aiding him and his friends. This demonstrated to the other penguins that the alteration in his appearance and use of one leg/foot could be used and seen as a positive instead of a negative. Loved the book. Will recommend it.
