Diamond Willow really does get the message across that every person really DOES have a sparkle. Diamond Willow is the story of Willow, an eleven-year-old girl who lives in Alaska with her family and many sled-dogs. Willow's father truly sees how well Willow controls and works with the dogs, so he lets Willow take her own sled and dogs on the long journey to her grandparents house with her favorite dog, Roxy. Diamond Willow is written in diamond-shaped paragraphs on each page. Some words are highlighted in each paragraph and when you read these words together you get some of Willow's thoughts. Overall this is an amazing book and has been nominated for the Rebecca Caudill award in Illinois. Diamond Willow, by Helen Frost, really demonstrates the difficulties of growing up average and thinking that you don't have sparkle of your own.
