The Boy Whose Face Froze Like That by Lynn Plourde
Easy Reader Book
Have you ever heard an adult say, “Stop it! You’re face will freeze like that!” after a child made a silly face? This book explores what happens to a good kid, who would never make faces in public, but decided to try a silly face in front of his bathroom mirror….and his face froze just like he had always been told!
Wendell and his parents, and even the pet cat, try all sorts of ways to get his face back to normal. Nothing they try works. Wendell tries and tries to find ways on his own. Then one day, his parents tell him, “We love you…just the way you are.” When Wendell didn’t feel the need to be perfect, his frozen face let go!
This is a book for children and adults who strive to be perfect. We all can learn from this book that it’s ok to be silly and still try to be the best you possible. No one is perfect, however, we all want to be unconditionally loved no matter what we look like.
