Isabelle is a shy little girl who’s afraid to talk to her classmates. She’s worried they might say no to her or dislike her. She spends time playing alone and collecting little treasures. When Aunt Nancy sends her a special button for her proud collection, Isabelle calls it the proud button.

Her mother sews it onto her favorite coat, and Isabelle finds that it’s not that hard to talk to others and make friends. She has the best day of her life and realizes that she won’t know what others will say until she asks the question.

The illustrations are really cute and playful. I love the leaves dancing in the wind and the special glitter of the proud button. I do wish the text size was a bit bigger.

To sum up, The Proud Button is a good book to teach kids that it’s okay to take that step and make friends with others.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Clavis Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.
