The cartoonish images reflect the girl's enthusiasm and self-assurance, encouraging children to embrace their unique qualities without concern for others' opinions. I loved this book. I think it tells a great story how children should not care what other people think of them. Such a great message and the art is so fun. See More Reviews.

After they were all tucked in, I would write, often until or in the morning. For over six years, I wrote and submitted my manuscripts to publishers. And collected rejection slips. LOTS of them! It was frustrating beyond words.

But I refused to give up. I still have a hand-written note from my childhood favorite, Dr. Seuss, who was kind enough to reply to a birthday card I had sent him. May your trip be much, much more gentle. I have published many books since then, some of which have received numerous awards. But the honor that is most meaningful to me, given to Move Over, Rover!

I want to thank everyone who has encouraged me along the way: my family, friends, agent, editors, and especially my readers. Your support enables me to continue to share my passion with children around the world. And for that, I will always be deeply grateful. No matter if they stop and stare, no person ever anywhere can make me feel that what they see is all there really is to me.

I'm glad I'm me. See all Karen Beaumont's quotes ». Topics Mentioning This Author. Welcome back. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.
