J and the Opposites
by Renná Bruce
illustrated by Robin Oakes
Jazlyn J and Company
Inc., 2009.
ISBN 978-0-9781809-1-1
28 pages
The beloved character Jazlyn J is feeling a little
upset when the new member of the family arrives. But
her feelings about her baby brother turn out to be the
complete opposite of what she was expecting.
Jazlyn J and the Opposites examines the opposites
in life like hot and cold, happy and sad, quiet and
loud, big and little, and even boy and girl. This terrific
book also takes a look at how being different is okay
and shows that if we try hard enough, we’ll find
similarities. Bruce hopes that her book will teach acceptance
to young ones. "Being different shouldn’t
cast us out. When someone or something is different
from what we are used to, we should look at it as a
fantastic opportunity to learn. We need to embrace that.
I believe that is how we grow."
