DescriptionMeet Brian, the invisible boy. Nobody ever seems to notice him or think to include him in their group, game, or birthday party . . . until, that is, a new kid comes to class. ReviewsUSA Today, August 22, 2013: "Illustrator Barton adds a wonderful touch by drawing all the other characters in color but sketching Brian in faint shades of black and white - at least at first....Before long, Brian, in living color, is not so invisible after all. It's a lovely lesson in the simple acts of friendship, especially recommended for the most popular kids in class." Scholastic Instructor, Fall 2013: "Pitch-perfect words and art." Starred Review, School Library Journal, September 2013: "This is a simple yet heartfelt story about a boy who has been excluded for no apparent reason but finds a way to cope and eventually gains acceptance. Kirkus Reviews, September 15, 2013: "Tender illustrations rendered in glowing hues capture Brian s isolation deftly...Use this to start a discussion: The author includes suggested questions and recommended reading lists for adults and children. Accessible, reassuring and hopeful." Publishers Weekly, August 26, 2013: "Ludwig and Barton understand classroom dynamics...They portray Brian s situation as a matter of groupthink that can be rebooted through small steps. It s a smart strategy, one that can be leveraged through the book s excellent discussion guide." "Trudy Ludwig has given us the gift of another empathic, poignant book for children that addresses the complex topic of peer relationships...A must-read." - Carrie Goldman, award-winning author of" BULLIED: What Every Parent, Teacher, and Kid Needs to Know about Ending the Cycle of Fear"" |
