One of my favorite themes for read-alouds is characters who remained who they were even if people didn't like it. Here are some books that go along with that theme:
This book redefines what "beautiful" means.
A gorgeous story about being yourself in a world that doesn't always support it.
A girl growing up not liking her curly hair. She learns everyone has something that makes them unique.
One of my all-time favorite characters. She is small, has buckteeth and a horrible singing voice-but she sings loud and proud and stays true to herself.
Everyone (including her teacher) thinks Oddrey is just too odd. But her oddness saves the day.
I LOVE this book! His parents thought he was weird and worried about how different he was from the rest of the flock-but Woolbur is not going change who he is for anyone.
A classic! Tacky is an odd bird but a good bird to have around.
