Sophie Stands Out
Pajamas are simply the best! Sophie is a little girl who loves to wear her jammies and has the best idea to wear them all day. Until she starts to get stares from everyone around town who wonders why she isn't dressed for the day.
She can still do all the things she wants to do, like: jump to the moon, make a magic potion, and bike to her friend's house. But when people around town make her feel silly for her outfit choice, Sophie must decide: should she stand out and be herself or be like everyone else and save her jammies for bedtime?
SOPHIE STANDS OUT is a children's picture book about learning to be comfortable in the skin - or pajamas - you're in. A great book about positive self-esteem for children ages 3-7.
$16 for the Sophie book
$18 for the LEGO unicorn & minifig (leave me notes if you want it customized)

Book Reviews of
Sophie Stands Out: "Trying new things and daring to be different can be scary at any age. It can also feel uncomfortable sometimes when you’re a parent and your child wants to go out in public dressed in a costume or even pajamas. In “Sophie Stands Out” by Katie Storey, a young girl decides that today is the day for her to do something very unique--she wants to wear her pajamas all day long! Although her decision is accepted by people close to her, some people Sophie meets along the way are skeptical, even to the point of shaming her. Fortunately, Sophie is a strong-minded girl and doesn’t let the naysayers get in the way of her having fun. We love seeing stories that challenge kids to be brave and confident in the midst of adversity. Even though her pajamas are what get people talking, it’s really Sophie’s determination and courage that makes her stand out." -Nanny Miss Monique "What a brilliant message about making a bold statement and staying true to yourself! And who doesn’t want to wear jammies to school? A delightful work from a talented writer. The little ones in my life love reading this book at bedtime!"--Carrie Seim (author of Horse Girl) |

A reminder you can be happiest choosing for yourself, without having to just try and fit in. With incredible illustrations to match an important message, this has become a favorite with my kids. They love the idea of getting to stay in pajamas all day!"
