SUMMARY:This is a great book to teach individuality, as well as diversity. In this book, the main character Stellaluna, gets lost from her mom, and ends up with a bird family. They accept her, and even though she is a little different she lives with them for some time. Towards the end of the book she is found by another bat, who thinks it is funny that she is sitting up right, and not hanging upside down like the rest of the bats do. Does he help Stellaluna find her mom? Read to find out.
THis is a great book to use in a classroom that even when people are different we should still love them.
