Reviews

[Madison O'Hara]

This is a great picture book for all levels of elementary school because it really sends a great message no matter the age. The main idea is that even though two friends look very different, they can still be friends and be there for one another. Not only does it let your students know that friendship is important and you should be the best friend you can be, but it lets them know that even though your friend may look completely different you can still be friends.
