My first memory I have of this is book is of me stealing my sister's copy from our shared bookshelf and hiding it in my room, so I could keep it for myself. I loved it that much. I couldn't remember why I loved it so much until revisited it as an adult. I was not only addicted to the fun colors, but I also loved the meaning behind this story. The story is about a girl named Camilla Cream who is afraid of liking things that her friends don't like. So, she gets taught a lesson by having pattern-changing skin. When she goes to school after figuring out she is not physically ill, she finds that everyone laughs at her. Her skin patterns ends up dramatizing what's its like for people to laugh at you, even when you're different. It teaches kids that no matter what, not everyone is going to like you or your choices, but it's worth it to just be yourself. I feel like this is a fantastic lesson to engrain in kids' heads early because once they hit middle school, being liked by everyone usually becomes top priority. Thinking back on my own middle school life though, I never seemed to care what people thought of my wardrobe choices. I felt confident (most of the time) and enjoyed being gawked at in the halls for wearing odd things. They weren't super weird clothing, it was just different. I'm going to pretend like this book helped me become who I am today and who knows, maybe it did.

Love this book
5.0 out of 5 stars An all time classic
My mom used to read this book to me when I was a kid. It has some really fascinating imagery, some might find it disturbing, but to me it is just intriguing. There is a lot of body horror in it, but in spite of that, I wouldn't say it isn't child friendly. It's not like there is any gore or anything. I also always thought it had a strong message about enjoying the things you like, even if they aren't popular. I think that is very important in this day and age where sometimes enjoying things that are different from the norm leads to online ridicule. It can be easy to forget that nobody cares that you enjoy Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen outside of randos on the internet who you likely will never interact with. Since this book had such a positive impact on me growing up, I decided to buy it as a gift for one of my baby cousins.

My mom used to read this book to me when I was little and I always enjoyed the art. My little girl loved it recently when I read it to and I’m so happy to have it in our rotation if nightly books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for repeat readings and boosts of integrity, kindness and bravery
Sheesh! Over 4,000 reviews; I don't think this book needs another one. Nevertheless, this book has been such an excellent repeat read over the years that I feel compelled to jump in here. Many movies and books explore honesty but this one goes deep into grey area with drama, nuance and subtlety. Honesty is more than just being truthful with our words. It's about being authentic and true to ourselves in all the small decisions, behaviors and expressions of self in daily life. The story was entertaining the first few times we read it, but extra helpful at various times when we needed an extra boost of honesty, kindness (to ourselves), and bravery. A good one for home library.

What a great little book!
奇抜だけどとても良いお話です。
日本語の翻訳版を読んで、ぜひ原版も読んでみたいと購入しました。学校での周りの目を気にするあまりとんでもないことになってしまうカミーラですが、最後にははっきりと主張し、そして自分に自信を持つことがどんなに幸せで誇らしいことであるかを教えてくれます。時々原作の良さが英語と日本語の違いによってほんの少し失われてしまう翻訳絵本もありますが、これを読んで翻訳版もとても素晴らしく訳してあるんだなぁとあらためて思いました。
