Dennis is an ordinary boy who expresses himself in extraordinary ways. Some children do show-and-tell. Dennis mimes his. Some children climb trees. Dennis is happy to BE a tree . . . But being a mime can be lonely. It isn't until Dennis meets a girl named Joy that he discovers the power of friendship--and how special he truly is! At its core, this book is a heartwarming story of self-acceptance, courage, and unbreakable friendship for anyone who has ever felt "different." Countless readers and reviewers have fallen in love with Salina Yoon. Now, she showcases her talent in a brand new way, wrapping a simple yet emotionally rich text in a special package.

#PrinceOfJuly Day 25: Being a friend does not seem #Automatic among many young children, so sensitively-written books such as this one helps. Dennis‘ self-expression does not #automatic(ally) win him friends. And even mimes who give joy to others become lonely too. More often than not, he feels invisible in a sea of faces.

A wonderful presentation by Salina Yoon at the Fay B. Kaigler Children's Book Festival in Hattiesburg, MS.

She read aloud about her new character Mime Boy.

4⭐️ This is an interesting story of friendship. A little boy loves to mime. He doesn‘t need to talk to express himself. He uses his whole body. But it makes him feel lonely at times. Until the day he makes a special friend. Someone who knows that real friendship doesn‘t take works. An interesting story with great illustrations.
