Larger Than Life Laura by Dandi Mackall - ESSENTIAL


Mackall, Dandi Daley Larger-Than-Life Lara 151 p. Penguin – 

EL, MS, HS – ESSENTIAL

Laney’s fourth grade class is stunned the day that Lara, the fattest girl they have ever seen, walks into their classroom. This girl is so fat, that she needs a special desk. Lara’s parents have instilled her with a healthy sense of self-esteem, but she is hard pressed to keep her chin up against the unreasonable prejudice of her fellow students. 

This book will make you cry and it should be read to every child every single year.
