Self-love, self-acceptance, and individuality are three themes
from author Rachel Bate's Turquoise Tail. The book invites
readers into coyote pup Cielo's world as she discovers she physically does not
resemble the rest of her family. They all have brown tails; hers is blue and
stands up straight. Not understanding why or how this could have happened sends
her family into a whirlwind of sadness and has them confused. It is already a
trying experience for Cielo to accept that she is different, but her siblings
and other acquaintances she meets along the way make matters worse by teasing
her.
This book shows that it is okay to be different and to
accept who we really are. Being different brings a superpower and uniqueness
that set us apart. The writing is clean, clear, crisp, and enriched by a colorful
rhyme scheme. The illustrations by Rebecca Jacob help translate the actions and
emotions of the protagonist, bringing more depth and clarity into the story. Turquoise Tail by Rebecca Bate is a
fantastic short story for readers of all ages! Readers will resonate with this
book as it deals with themes that are universal and emotions that are real.
Bate celebrates Cielo's identity in this book and reminds people to be kind to
one another because we never know what someone is facing, and kindness goes a
long way. This is a book that instructs, inspires, and entertains.
