A Bad case of the Stripes

A Bad Case of Stripes - David Shannon

Camilla Cream loves lima beans, but she never eats them because the other kids in her school don't like them. Camilla is very worried about what other people thank about her, but at the very moment she most wants to fit in, she becomes completely covered in strips and stands out. She searches for anyone who can help her remember what it means to be herself. A great first week of school activity to go along with this book is to have students draw lines across a cut out of Camilla's head to be filled in with stripes with things that make them unique written on them. Be sure to encourage students to share things that others would not know or they might be shy to share.
