Exploring lots of hard topics for kids but make it Halloween (and not spooky)!
We've read this over and over this season.

I enjoyed the afterward to “A Tiger Called Tomas” - it was super interesting. However, based on the language of the book, I don’t think that the author fully understood shyness.

Tomás moves into a new neighborhood, but he worries that all of the kids and adults won't like him, so he just sits on his stoop. When Halloween comes and he gets to hide behind a tiger mask, he suddenly gains the confidence to talk to everyone and realizes his fears were unfounded.
I really liked the digital art in this. The cover and the end pages were especially pretty. This would be a great read to promote boldness and friendship.
I received a copy of this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A Tiger Called Tomás is a heartwarming story about being the new kid. Tomás and his mother have just moved and Tomás isn't ready to make friends yet. He spends his days watching his new neighbors instead of approaching them because he thinks that no one will like him. As Halloween approaches Tomás mother has an idea, he can go trick-or-treating because he will be dressed as a tiger, no one will know it is him! He has a great time and after the neighbors keep calling him Tomás he realizes that they knew all along and he doesn't need to worry that no one will like him.

This is a good book to read to students to talk about insecurities and how sometimes it's hard to feel different.

A beautiful book about a boy who is too shy to try and meet his new neighbors. On Halloween he gets the courage because his tiger costume covers his face. He meets all his neighbors and finds out they do like him after all. The story has several Spanish words sprinkled throughout.

Such a sweet story of a shy Latino boy who is afraid that his new neighbors won't like him and as a result does not give them a chance to get to know him. Feeling courageous once he puts on his tiger costume for Halloween and realizes no one will be able to see his face, Tomas finally leaves his house to go trick-or-treating on his own. He surprised when all of his neighbors recognize him immediately and welcome him into their homes or invite them over another day. When he gets home he feels less shy and looks forward to see his new friends again.
The illustrations are vivid and colorful -- absolutely wonderful! Republished with Latinx characters, a few text changes, and a few added Spanish words, this was a refreshing new version of the classic, relatable story.
