NPR, you have my heart!

United States Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power recommends the classic Mr. Men/Little Miss books, particularly Mr. Tall: “In a book that celebrates difference, Mr. Tall is so tall that he can walk miles in minutes,” she says. “When he becomes self-conscious about having legs so much longer than his peers, he gets cheered up by Mr. Nosey (who celebrates his own unusually long nose because it allows him more easily to pry into people’s business), Mr. Tickle (who hails his long arms for giving him the ability to reach/tickle people at a distance), and Mr. Greedy (who cherishes his fat belly because it leaves him room to eat more).”
