Jane Escapes to the Jungle of Individuality by Jennifer Nestor is a children’s picture book with a very important message. Jane was having a fun morning until it was time to go to school. You see, Jane feels different and that she doesn't fit in. When she gets on the school bus, she drifts off into a dream world and finds herself in a place called the Jungle of Individuality. There, she finds lots of animals, each with their own unique character. Tim the Tiger, Claire the Cheetah, and Avery the Ape take her under their wings and guide her through the jungle, explaining individuality to her and teaching her that she should embrace who she is while learning to accept others for who they are and being brave when it seems everyone is against her. When Jane woke up, she was at school, but she felt different, stronger, and more confident. She learned a lot from her trip. Will you?
Jane Escapes to the Jungle of Individuality by Jennifer Nestor is a fun, educational storybook with some lovely illustrations. The story itself is a fun tale about a girl and her daydreams, but the underlying message is much stronger. It covers subjects like anxiety and bullying, and it talks about wanting to belong even though you feel different. It teaches kids about individuality, about learning to be strong in the face of adversity, and about accepting yourself for who you are. Everyone is different, it’s what makes the world go round, and this book will teach kids to be brave and that their individuality is their real strength. I loved this book. It is well-written and easy to read. It will bring joy to so many kids by helping them to realize that being different isn’t a bad thing and that they should embrace who they are wholeheartedly while learning to accept others for their individuality, too.
