Featured Books
A Porcupine Named Fluffy
Helen Lester
A porcupine named Fluffy is happier with his name after he meets a similarly misnamed rhinoceros.
This book discusses the feelings of self-esteem and coping. Being different isn't bad, it's just different. If your child is the first one to lose his/her teeth in the class, they are the first one to get glasses, etc. Teasing can have a dramatic effect on a child and the development of self worth. You can help your child embrace what make them unique instead of trying to "fit in."
