Halfway to Perfect

Dya­monde knows it’s what’s on the inside that counts!

Dya­monde loves eat­ing her mom’s pan­cakes. Free loves eat­ing … peri­od. But late­ly Damaris just push­es her food around her plate, and Dya­monde sus­pects it has some­thing to do with the mean things class­mates have been say­ing about peo­ple’s weight. Damaris won­ders if they might be talk­ing about her too. Dya­monde knows that Damaris does­n’t have a weight prob­lem and is per­fect just the way she is — so now it’s time for her to make sure Damaris knows that, too.

In this fourth install­ment of the award-win­ning series, Coret­ta Scott King Award win­ner Nik­ki Grimes’s lov­able Dya­monde Daniel is back, with a time­ly mes­sage about self-accep­tance and healthy eat­ing habits — deliv­ered with her trade­mark spunk.
