It's a beautifully well written book with such amazing illustrations. I love how all the take away messages were summed up at the end. The meaningful message of this book is very relevant as kids need to learn to empathize at a very young age not only about being physically diverse but also about neurodiversity.
The only negative which I found was that although the illustrations are good, at a few places I felt they were a bit chaotic. Otherwise it's a good read for children.

Junga the Dancing Yeti is the warmest of the Books I've read. The book's primary focal point is anti-bullying and one should treat others. In the current Social Media world where we see more hate than love, this book is a reminder even to adults that we should treat everyone around us with empathy. No one deserves to be bullied for the sake of fun or to prove a point. Everyone has a different perspective and it will be different from our own, even if we don't agree the least we can do is respect their point of view. I'd highly recommend both parents and kids to read this book.

Thank you to Booktasters and the author for sending me this copy!

This was such a heartwarming tale! From the very start of the book, it teaches kids so many valuable lessons. I loved how it instills in the child the importance of celebrating our differences and that each one of us is unique in their own way and it's a thing to be proud of and to be happy about. And how bullying is such an awful thing and how kids should always try and befriend "the new kids". Filled with amazing and expressive illustrations, we follow Junga and his grandmother on their journey of finding a warm place to stay for the winter. This is a great book for every child to read.
