As we find that she feels like she doesn’t belong, other examples of children feeling the same way are shared. In this story, a young girl explores how she feels different from those in her class as they tell their stories of summer. This book is a must for your classroom library and would be a perfect book to share at the beginning of the year, although if you’ve missed that time, it is still worth the read with your students. The Day You Begin not only has a wonderful story with a special message for children but also contains beautiful illustrations by Rafael Lopez. The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson is a beautiful new story encouraging children to appreciate their differences and connect with others even when they feel alone.
