This is an excellent picture storybook for a teacher, a teacher’s aide, or any student who might struggle to either fit in or keep up. I find it distressing that kids feel the need to ‘fit in’ but that is the reality in most classes, and most schools. This book is beautiful and has a gentle way of introducing other ‘ways’ to bring children into the learning environment – their community. Well done to Carolyn Cockburn and her fabulous illustrator, Vaughan Duck.
