The book, The Hundred Dresses, written by Eleanor Estes and illustrated by Louis Slobodkin is a chapter book with a powerful message about bullying. It's also one of my mom's all time favorites!
Wanda wears the same blue faded dress every single day. Peggy and her best friend Maddie bully Wanda so Wanda claims she has a hundred dresses in her closet. Maddie wants Peggy to stop bullying Wanda but she doesn't want to lose Peggy or her friends so she just goes along with Peggy. Read this book to find out what lesson Maddie learned.
The moral of the story is to stand up for yourself and to be yourself, but also to stand up for other people as well. I recommend this book to 2nd graders and up.
