You’re
Wearing That to School
Lynn
Plourde
Illustrated
by Sue Cornelison
Penelope is so excited about
school starting tomorrow. But her best friend Tiny is more cautious and begins
to give Penelope tips on how to blend in and be the same as all of her
classmates, so that no one will make fun of her. Penelope decides not to take
Tiny’s advice and goes to school in her flamboyant clothes. Tiny is so worried
about her, but finds that being your own person is the perfect way to be.
The
story line would be a perfect fit to read to a child getting ready to enter
school or a child suffering from shyness in the classroom. The illustrations
are colorful and help tell the story. The messages in the story are about
accepting people for who they are, learning how to make new friends, and being
open to new adventures. The last page is a list of things that a child can do
to feel more comfortable on their very first day of school.
I received this book free of charge from Children's Literature in exchange for my honest review.
