Hannah Sparkles: A Friend though Rain or Shine
Author: Robin Mellom
Illustrator: Vanessa Brantley-Newton
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Awards: None
Grade: PK-2
This book is about a little girl named Hannah who was out going and friendly. She was always happy and always had a smile on her face. One day she found out she had a new neighbor, Sunny Everbright, and went over to introduce herself. She showed her everything she liked but noticed her new neighbor was not into glitter and rainbows like herself. She started to get upset until one day it started to rain and noticed Sunny loved it and had a smile on her face. She realized her new friend may not like the same things she does but still enjoys different things that make her happy.
I would use this book in the classroom to show students how being different from one another is not always bad. An appropriate grade level for this book is Kindergarten where they are just starting to get to know other classmates their age. A good unit to use this for can be for a social studies lesson where they learn about social relationships. I can also plainly read this book during a read aloud as a small lesson about how to get along with each other.
