This celebration of individuality is told in singsongy rhymes, accompanied by fanciful illustrations featuring a wide range of children interacting with animals in somewhat surreal settings. Sappy but encouraging, the text explains that each of us is born with our own bells, though it may take time to learn what makes them ring. The overall self-esteem message is reassuring if sentimental.
