Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell

A friend of mine who is on Goodreads recommended this book to me. It's darling--both the story and the illustrations. It's the first Molly Lou Melon book I've read or seen.

Molly Lou is very short, and has some unusual physical attributes. Her grandmother always told her,"Stand tall, Molly Lou Melon". In this book Molly Lou moves to a new town and meets up with a boy who gives her a hard time. She stands tall, and gains a new friend. And I love the very end where we meet her grandmother.

I recommend it. I think my grandchildren will like it.
