Review:
Two books, were called to our attention that in some way deal with finding a sense of self worth and with it dealing with what life offers. Dougie Goes to School, the second in the Dougie's Life Series, was written by 8-year-old Douglas Christie Jr. It tells the tale of how a little boy, with the help of his Mother, counters his fear of going to school. Okay, so this kid, is the son of retired 14-year NBA basketball star Doug Christie and model/designer/author Jackie Christie and that has to give him a leg up. But it also suggests the importance of living and growing up with caring parents and the significance of having an open line of communication in which to share one's childhood concerns. Dougie's sense of accomplishment, illustrated by having won a spelling bee on the first day of school, is further reinforced by the loving congratulations he receives after he arrives home. &Everyone clapped and cheered. They were proud of me, Dougie says. Sharing his story of going to school, Dougie wants kids to know that no matter who they are, they can overcome anything they put their mind to. This theme of universality is displayed in the illustrations by Dottie Albertine. While the students she depicts are of many skin colors, their common goal knows no color boundary. --- Joplin Independent
