Summary: Sally notices and takes note of everything! She notices small things like the janitors keys on his ring to big things, like the bullying that is happening on the playground. Sally may be the smallest girl in the smallest grade but that doesn't mean that she cant stand up to a bully. She does not let anything stop her and decides to stand up to the bullying on the playground. This book proves that no matter how small you are, anyone can stand up to bullying and choose to be kind and make a difference.
Target Audience: K-1st grade.
Evaluation: This book is great for younger grades. I love the illustrations and I think that students will love them as well. The pictures in this book are eye catching and brightly colored, perfect for young students who might need something to hold their attention. The theme of this book is being kind and standing up to bullying. I love that this book encourages small people (young children) to stand up to bully's. I think the overall theme, illustrations and text in this book make it an amazing learning experience. Students would love to have this book read aloud to them.
Reader response activity: In this book, all it takes is ONE girl to make a difference at her school. After we read this book, I would have my students write down in their writers notebook what is ONE thing they could do to make a difference at their school. After everyone is done we will share our answers aloud with the class and discuss how we can make positive changes in the world around us!
