Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon is an old favorite of mine that I recently shared with our daughter.  With encouragement from her Grandmother, Molly Lou is proud of who she is and confidently tackles challenges that come her way.  The true test comes when her family moves and she encounters Ronald Durkin who attempts to bully her.  Molly Lou triumphs by remembering her Grandmother’s wisdom – “Believe in yourself and the world will believe in you too.”

Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon has an important message to share and does so skillfully.  It is a great book to use as a discussion starter with preschool and elementary aged children.
