Molly's Pilgrim

Our third grade class reads this book every year, but I had not read it until now. I see why they they read it now. It has great potnetial to be a powerful tool in the fight against bullies. It is so hard as an educator to pinpoint those behaviors and always be politically correct, so I felt for the teacher in the story. But I was happy to see how she handled it in the end. I was pleased that Molly's pilgrim was the best one of all and had a special display on the teacher's desk. This book could be a great way to introduce the different versions of pilgrims and cultural differences that they face. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it for any library.
