The books stuck with me from Grade 3, too many years ago for me to admit, and are still a huge hit with my classrooms.

It’s Canadian, it’s in prose, it paints great imagination pictures, and it deals with the topic of mental health and stereotypes.

It contains several themes involving loss and recovery, kindness and compassion, and the journey to self-discovery.

If you can read it aloud without busting a gut laughing, then you must be a joyless lump!

The Book with No Pictures
It is absolutely hilarious, and the kids love how ridiculous it makes the grown up reading it!

The One and Only Ivan
Last year I read it to my class for the first time. They loved it. I loved it. It was such a moving story, and we all got completely invested in it.
