I have been trying to decide how I want to incorporate this great new book into my counseling program. I have decided to use it in a classroom lesson on kindness, compassion, and acceptance in grade 2. It is perfect because we are getting several new students right after winter break. All the characters are typical of classes. I am sure most students will be able to connect with one of them (example, the boy with the outside voice or the girl who whines and complains). I also plan to share it with two of my small groups in third grade since they won't get the class lesson. I am sure we will have a lively discussion of the central question in this book, Which is worse - being laughed at or feeling invisible?
