Why read it?
1 author picked Zero as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a fabulous book about self-love and self-acceptance. Zero does not think she counts like all the other numbers. She sees herself as empty inside. Over the course of the book, we watch zero’s self-discovery and self-acceptance. It is beautifully written and an important book about not trying to change yourself in order to fit in. I wish I had this book when I was a kid.
From Jennifer's list on building self-esteem and self-love.
