Steven Levenkron - The best little girl in the world
The Best Little Girl in the World by Steven Levenkron
"Fat and Skinny had a raceAll around the pillow case
Fat fell down and broke her face
Skinny said, ‘Ha-ha, I won the race."
It's about a girl, Francesca Louise Dietrich, a normal teenager who loves ballet and goes for ballet lessons. At the beginning of the story, Francesca has already begun to hate her ‘fat body’, so she began to go down in wights to be in perfect form and be perfect in ballet. Francesca created even a new name for herself: Kessa. In her mind, Kessa is thin and perfect but Francesca is fat and ugly. So that’s how her obsession of becoming thin started.
After some time, her parents noticed that she wasn't normal, that she didn't eat at all and was going down on weights so abnormal. Finally, Kessa’s pediatrician advised her parents to let Kessa see a psychiatrist. But Kessa’s condition did not improve, as she still won’t eat and finally landed in the hospital, even after the doctors she has meet.
I think this is the first book about anorexia nervosa I read.. It was really good and sad in the same time.. But you have to read the whole, because it won't be good if you read just the thought of her.. It would even be good to see how she tries to be better in the end..
But strangly enough I began to throw up when I eat after reading this book, I wonder if it's causes of this..
I even think thoughts like.. being disgust when I see someone eat infront of me, or to see a fat person.. though i try to not think like that. though I try to eat.. not to much off course but not starving myself either.. But I can't help to be disgust and feel ill sometimes..
So be careful when you read it.. don't read with a passion like you usually do, if you decide to read this book..
