FICTION
This book touches on the importance of accepting new people and making friends. In the book, Chester the mouse has a best friend named Wilson who is very similar to him. When a new mouse, Lilly, moves into the neighborhood they ignore her until she sticks up for them against bullies. After the incident, Chester and Wilson become great friends with Lilly accepting her although she is different from them.
This would be a great book to read aloud to students at the beginning of the school year to encourage friendships and being kind and accepting to new or unfamiliar people. It teaches a valuable lesson about diversity and acceptance that kids of all ages and understand and relate to.
