One of the few books in our gift guide is Beenz and Peace Find Their Happy Place. It’s a lovely story about not fitting in – and that being okay, and being okay with that. The main characters, Beenz and Peace, refuse to be put in a box and want to share their uniqueness rather than hide in shame. The book’s aim is to empower children worldwide to unleash their fullest potential and embrace their authentic self. Benz is an alien who lives on Saturn. In his neighborhood, he’s the only one with a big front tooth. Although he’s friendly and funny, people begin to single him out for being different. With his trusty dog companion, Peace, by his side, he sets out on adventure and find everything they were looking for was right at home. And, that everyone is a little bit the same and a little bit different all at once. We highly recommend this sweet story to young and young at heart. It’s a wonderful story to remind us all that there is no cookie-cutter “perfect” and that we’re all unique and beautiful in our own way.
