I enjoyed the book and felt that the message is an important one that would benefit young readers. Children will notice that Blossom saw herself differently than others do. Blossom's Mom reminded her about all the wonderful traits Blossom has. It's important for children to have a healthy self-image and realize that each of them is unique.
