Agatha has always felt a little different—her dad is bear
and her mom is a pig and she’s a mixture of the two. She starts kindergarten and doesn’t feel like
she fits in. Her preschool teacher
explains that like stars and snowflakes, every kid is special in their very own
way. The teacher then asks every child
to tell the class what makes them special.
Agatha liked many things, but wasn’t sure what made her special so she
hid. Everyone looked for her and then
told her why they thought she was special. May tells her she special because she’s the
best at being Agatha and “No one else is a better Agatha than you!” Agatha’s uniqueness is brought to life in the
illustrations of charcoal shading for faces and bright colors for clothes. The illustrations are reminiscent of Ian
Falconer’s Olivia books. This book combines an important message with
engaging illustrations and is sure to find readers.
Pre-K, EL-ADVISABLE.
