Find out just how much power you truly hold within yourself if you just accept yourself.Visit the world of A Wrinkle in Time in this new standalone chapter book story! And we should embrace our uniqueness.Ĭan you imagine if we were all the same … doing the same thing …įind out what it means to be different and what it means (and how it feels) to be accepted for who you are. Overall, it teaches us that being different or unique is what makes us … simply put, us. There are three children who have their own unique personalities but who aren’t accepted by a lot of people, while there are some other individuals who are different as well and embrace the children’s uniqueness. Yes, it has some bizarre form of evil to it, but it has more to do with family and how good wins over evil. I gave the graphic novel a try, and it was quite good. And especially after the 50th anniversary edition came out and then the movie, which I’m also curious to watch (I usually read the book before watching the movie). After a time, I thought I would just put it on my “to read” list since everyone else was reading it.

I had been curious about it whenever I pulled it from the shelf for someone else. I was never required to read this title throughout school.
