For No Reason is one of the strongest children’s story I have read in recent times.
To begin, I must say, I love the title. It says a lot about the book. This phrase is the heart of the story. We all know this painful feeling, of being hurt for no reason. But there is more meaning to this sentence, and the author did a great poetic job, using this phrase throughout the book.
The story is about a young girl who is being bullied at school and how she finds a great solution to this. I really like the solution. She finds the solution alone, within herself, without punishing or blaming. She finds the answer in her inner strength, sense of humor and friendship toward the bully. I think this book is really well thought and beautifully written. I like the illustrations a lot as well. They are clear and nicely made with soft watercolors. This is a very useful book for all kids growing up and facing the challenges of socializing and interacting with people. I will surely read this book to my kid many times!
