Dorothy: a Different Kind of Friend Roberto Aliaga

Exploring the themes of friendship and bullying, this heartwarming
picture book features a young girl with a friend named Dorothy.
Dorothy is not like the other children at school: she is very big,
always drops crumbs when she eats, and birds often land on her
head without her realizing it. The narrator?s other friends don?t
accept Dorothy and exclude her from their adventures, encouraging
the narrator to do the same. But the narrator doesn?t give into their
bullying; she loves that Dorothy is different, and that?s what makes
Dorothy her best friend.
