With a sigh, she went pacing before a large mirror that stood “Ugh! I’m hideous! None of this looks very good!” After struggling to find the perfect outfit, Emily Soo dances the night away at a fun party. But when she gets home, her inner voice Emily Two tries to put a damper on her evening. Confronting our thoughts, fully facing tough emotions, and affirming ourselves can be difficult. Can Emily Soo find it within herself to squash her Worry and Woe?
Review for Troubles and Doubles
What to wear? How many times a week do you have the same thought? Ha, every single day. Emily had the same thought, followed by “Ugh! I’m hideous! And I hate everything here!” Then the mirror talked to her! When she gets home, the mirror mocked her again. Emily finally learns to stand up to the inner voices and became proud of herself. This message is one we all need to learn! Hello! Children’s books aren’t just for children anymore – this is one of the best lessons/morals I’ve read in a children’s book – let’s share this message when they’re young.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in order to share my opinion.
