Dorothy - A Different Kind of Friend

Exploring the themes of friendship and bullying, this heartwarming picture book features a young girl with a friend named Dorothy. Dorothy is not like the other children at school: she is very big, always drops crumbs when she eats, and birds often land on her head without her realizing it. The narrator s other friends don t accept Dorothy and exclude her from their adventures, encouraging the narrator to do the same. But the narrator doesn t give into their bullying; she loves that Dorothy is different, and that s what makes Dorothy her best friend. Guided Reading Level K Lexile Level 520L"
