Description
Wishtree by Katherine Applegate is such a great novel for kids. This book explores several themes, with one of them being "accepting others for who they are, not what they look like". The story is a heartwarming tale of two children, one tree, and a menagerie of animals that bring peace and happiness to a local neighborhood.
My favorite way to use Wishtree in the classroom is as a whole-class read aloud. It fits the bill with many literature standards, and it's also a great way to infuse social-emotional learning into your curriculum.
