Is There An App for That?
Halley Discovers Happiness through Self-Acceptance
Checking Availibility...Description
Summer is over and poor Hailey is dreading going back to school. She just doesn't feel like she fits in. If only she could be tall like Tyler, or fast like Braden, or maybe even smart like Cade. But everyone knows that just can't happen... or can it?
Imagine Hailey's surprise when she wakes up the first day of school to find her old, boring bathroom mirror covered with magic apps! The apps promise to make her taller, faster, smarter, and so much more! What harm is there in trying them? The apps only last one day, and surely this could solve all her problems, right?
Join Hailey on her comical adventures as she tried different apps in attempt after attempt to be someone she isn?t and begins to realize that trying to be like others isn't all it's cracked up to be. With help from her mom and friends, Hailey learns she has so much to offer just by being herself and that to truly be happy, all she needs is to look within herself instead of relying on others.
Is There an App for That? was written for educators and parents to teach K through 5th grade children the importance of self-acceptance.
