Imperfect phil

Philip T. Basher is Imperfectphil, Imperfectphil Is Who I Am, and Imperfectphil Is a Friend are three books written by Sue Steinhardt and illustrated by Jessica Murr. Pictured above is Sue with her dog - Imperfectphil (who seemed pretty perfect to me). Sue is a high school English teacher; Jessica is one of her former students who is currently studying art. I met Sue and Phil at their Bookstore Plus book signing in Lake Placid, NY. 
These three positive books remind kids that it is just fine to be - and to be who they were created to be. We are all different; we all have flaws; we are all imperfect - just like Phil the dog! And that's OK.
