I Really REALLY Don’t Want Braces
by Sophie Jupillat Posey
Genre: Bilingual Children’s Book

not-so-friendly friends in this bilingual book.
Mario
hates his braces. They are painful, they look ugly, and his food gets
stuck in them all the time.
As everyone at school makes fun of
Mario and he is disheartened by all the mocking he faces, will
Mario’s elder brother, Tony, be able to help him stand up against
his bullies and finally accept his braces?
I Really REALLY Don’t
Want Braces inspires children to embrace their braces, educates
them on the benefits of braces, teaches children to stand up for
themselves, and motivates young readers to discover their inner
strength. This book will help you raise confident and resilient
little humans.
Yes, Prunella had many qualities. But she had
some fears.
She hated pain and rodents of any kind made
her petrified. Small or big, any rodent she saw in the woods made her freeze,
then run away, shrieking.
She was about to lose her first tooth; late
for her age. It hurt so badly, every time her tongue touched it, it wiggled and
waggled so.
The pain consumed her thoughts and she was
terrified. She’d never lost a tooth. She didn’t know what to expect. But she
did know once it fell, The Little Mouse would come visit her and drop off some
coins. The thought of the snuffling, furry creature in her home made her groan.
It was enough to make her forget even the pain
of her tooth, and the pain of moving away from her home country to the United
States, because her father had found a new job in Orlando. She’d had to let her
insects go; she’d cried and cried as she’d released them, and she’d cried some
more in the airport, as she carried her cats’ carrier through customs. She
cried again in the plane at the thought of the pain of her tooth falling, and
the Little Mouse coming to get it.
Excerpt from I Really REALLY Don’t Want Braces
I
don’t want to get braces.
My
parents say, “It’s necessary.”
My
dentist says, “It’s necessary.”
“You’ll
get used to it,” they say.
I
really, really, REALLY don’t want to get braces.
My
teeth are crooked,
Jagged,
they hide each other,
Some
sit low, some sit high, some jut out, some jut in.
They
are worse than the naughty kids in class.
But
I still don’t want to get braces.
I
have gotten too many cavities.
Too
much food gets stuck inside.
I
know it’s necessary,
But
I don’t want to get braces.
Maybe
if I hide in the attic,
Maybe
if I stay still like my lizard,
Maybe
if I pretend I was kidnapped by pirates,
My
parents will forget to bring me to the dentist.
