Illustrated by Adrienne Brown
In our world of bullying, fitting in, and developing self-worth we want to teach our children early that being who we are is good. We don’t have to be different to be liked or valued. Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Or wished for something that you didn’t have? Normal Nina knows all about it. She is just a regular person that people don’t notice or appreciate for the regular things she does. There is certainly nothing fun about that. So, when Nina discovers a strange magic box outside her house and meets the blue-masked genie who lives there, she knows exactly what her three wishes will be. And there’s nothing normal about them at all! This delightful story for children ages 4-8 shows that exciting adventures can be fun but being normal has its good points.
