I Really REALLY Don’t Want Braces
by Sophie Jupillat Posey
Genre: Bilingual Children’s Book
Join Mario as he gets his braces and learns to stand up against his 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.
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.
