Very cute and a good lesson. Makes me happy to know that the third graders in my school are getting to read this.

A sweet, innocent, quick read about a couple young girls learning that their actions and words really do affect those they were directed to and how they learn to say I'm sorry.

The power and importance of kindness + acceptance. Never fails to leave me in tears.

Wanda has an interesting name and lives in Boggins Hollow where the poorest families live. One day on the playground, Wanda whispers that she has 100 dresses in her closet all lined up. The children laugh at her because there is no way her family could afford that many dresses.
Now, it has been a few days since Wanda has been seen at school. One of the girls, Maddie is worried and begins to feel remorse for not standing up for Wanda.
This classic tale teaches such a great lesson to young people, first, never judge a book by its cover and second, always be kind.

A beautiful classic story about bullying and standing by that's completely understandable and appropriate for children of all ages without being preachy. 5 stars for the gorgeous illustrations by Louis Slobodkin.
