I Walk with Vanessa: A Picture Book Story About a Simple Act of Kindness | Kerascoët
2 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
This simple yet powerful picture book--from a New York Times bestselling husband-and-wife team--tells the story of one girl who inspires a community to stand up to bullying. The perfect back-to-school read for every kid, family and classroom! Inspired by real events, I Walk with Vanessa explores the feelings of helplessness and anger that arise in the wake of seeing a classmate treated badly, and shows how a single act of kindness can lead to an entire community joining in to help. By choosing only pictures to tell their story, the creators underscore the idea that someone can be an ally without having to say a word. With themes of acceptance, kindness, and strength in numbers, this timeless and profound feel-good story will resonate with readers young and old. A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year "This beautifully illustrated story shows young readers how to become caring and supportive upstanders. Love it!" --Trudy Ludwig, bestselling author of The Invisible Boy

Doing a unit about respect and having the kindergartners read to me. This book amazed them. We talked about who in our school should talk to the bad boy so he can turn in the same direction as the other kids on the last page.

#ANewChapter Day 24: Told entirely without words, this visual narrative tells a powerful story about a young girl who has just recently moved into a new neighbourhood, and a new school, where everyone‘s a virtual #stranger. The story shows how easy it is to hurt another person through careless remarks. Yet, it is also easy to knock on another‘s door, greet someone with a smile, and make her feel welcome.
