I WALK WITH VANESSA: A STORY ABOUT A SIMPLE ACT OF KINDNESS
BY KERASCOËT
This charming wordless picture book - from a New York Times bestselling husband-and-wife team-tells the story of a young girl who has just moved into the neighborhood and is new at school.
No one asks her to join the class basketball game or sit with them. After school she’s left to walk home alone, ignored by all except one little boy who says something unkind. Only one girl notices the altercation and has an idea about how to help the new girl.
The book offers a useful guide with suggestions about helping someone who is being bullied, as well as some helpful words to use during your discussions.
I recommend this book be added to your home library, as well as to every public and school library for ages 4 – 7.
