Sparkella has great hopes and excitement for her first day at a new school. She wants to make new friends and talk about herself to her friends. But, alas, things don't go as planned and she feels dejected. She plans to be less sparkly the next school day. However, her dad corrects her and advises her to be just herself. He teaches her the well-needed self-esteem girls need in today's world. Sparkella's dad consoles her and tells her that she has all of it inside her and she doesn't need to please others. 

A great message conveyed in a very pretty, sparkling, and kid-friendly way. This is a good read for a kid 4+ years old because self-esteem and self-confidence need to be instilled in kids starting at smaller ages.
