This is a short story for pre-school children, which makes an effort to enhance their thinking power. Through nice illustrations, the author poses a very simple yet philosophical question in a play-style to Balu, a child. Balu gets a ball from Santa that asks him who is he. His answers do not satisfy the ball and in the end, he tries to put himself in the place of the ball and answers the question. It is cute talk between Balu and his ball, which I think you can read to your children and they will love it.
What a truly beautiful book this is. The illustrations are simple and colourful, and the text is just perfect for an early reader or one sharing a book with mum or dad (one of those special and so important joys of childhood that generates a lifelong friendship with books and reading.) The story is deceptively simple – It begins when BeBe asks Santa for a friend, and instead is given a big blue ball that looks so like the Planet Earth that he calls her World. (I loved that the World is ‘she’ – a subtle reference, I assumed, to Gaia, the mythological personification of the Earth.) “Who are you?” she asks him, to his surprise, but none of his ensuing answers satisfy her. Parents reading this aloud to their toddler will love how the stream of philosophical questioning continues and unfolds... My own experience (as mother and grandmother) is that children are never too young to begin to develop a habit of wise, insightful thinking – given enough of a nudge in that direction. BeBe is challenged to think who he is beyond the identifying labels imposed on him, the activities he likes, and his outward appearance and behaviour. All of these things are how he has learned to understand his place in life, and yet... his new friend does not seemingly place particular value on them. He wonders why, then realises he has to go deeper to discover the real answer to the World’s question, and so he begins to think about it in a different way... Eventually he says: “Who am I? I’m no different from you.” From that moment his real heart connection with the World begins... I so love the embedded symbolism in the story, and I can imagine it starting off a discussion between parent and child, or teacher and child – whoever shares the story with them. I can also imagine it triggering insight within an older child reading it to themselves. I see that this is part of a series of books aimed at this age group, so if you’ve enjoyed this, you have a whole collection to look forward to sharing with your child!
I have decided to give this book a Five Star since "I like it" was not a true description of what I FEEL when I read it. Despite the occasional odd sentence order, slight lack of story simplicity and the word "stupid" this book is inquisitive, fresh and beautiful. With a bit more work the author can make this book truly magnificent. The artwork is appropriate for toddlers, basic bright colors and simple clean lines. The concept is beautiful. The story is very different from most "About me" books for babies/toddlers and it appeals to adults as well. The deeper messages is the following- You are not about the things you do INDIVIDUALLY but who you are in relation to others around you. You are what you DO for others. Most grown-ups don't even understand that! Kuddos to the author "I LOVE" this book.
A delightful story written for ages 2 - 9 and P - 2. The drawings are cute and colorful and the Zoom is in effect on the Kindle which enlarges the pictures.Be Be is 4 years old and asks Santa for a friend for Christmas. Just imagine his disappointment when he receives a blue ball for his present. As most young children, he is wondering about the gift. Well, this blue ball keeps asking him 'Who are you' and BB is hard pressed to give the correct answer. BB tries to answer the question with how he looks, where he lives, his family, his hobby and even his school.Persistent blue ball just keeps asking BB questions and finally BB decides to put a twist on his answer. This is the answer the blue ball wanted to hear all along!Just a delightful story that will have your little ones being satisfied with the answer.Most highly recommended for the little ones in your life.
The bright and simple illustrations were an instant attraction to my littlest. The story reminded me of the many discussions I've had with my own three children, for every answer I give, I get a further three questions until they get the answer they want. The story centres around BeBe who gets an unusual present from Santa: World! World asks BeBe "Who are you?" BeBe thinks of many ways to answer her question but World is not satisfied until BeBe finally understands her question. My children enjoyed answering the questions along with BeBe. This is a book that is as nice for the parent reading as for the child listening. A sweet story to share and read over and over again.We have also enjoyed reading 'I Rule World' and will definitely be reading the rest of the Balu Baldauf series by Ruthz SB.
A sweet story that goes to the heart of the matter. Discovering who you are and not what you do is a strong healthy platform to grow and stand on throughout your entire life. The author's creative story line in producing a wonderful dialogue between a small boy and our huge world is brilliant. Weaving many colorful illustrations to enhance the words for early readers is engaging for the child and parents, too. The journey for the little one to discover that he/she is special and loved reaps great rewards in child development with good self esteem and developing friendships with all people.
