I believe I will be investing in this book. My daughter and I were just discussing this issue at high school. A classmate and friend of our oldest son and friend to Elizabeth too just committed suicide this week. We were discussing how on the outside he seemed fine but inside so much more was happening. I realize that at the elementary level this tragic situation doesn't happen, but the feelings begin at a young age. Thank you so much for sharing this book. I love how you nudged your students to see how they can make a difference.MaryHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493683144411995592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-89716863729106144382013-11-13T13:15:00.351-06:002013-11-13T13:15:00.351-06:00Thank you, Michelle, for generating such thoughtfu...Thank you, Michelle, for generating such thoughtful discussions about my children's book, THE INVISIBLE BOY with the children at your school.

This book can be used to help them relate better with others. I'm sure it would be beneficial no matter what the age of the reader is - young to old. We can all use that reminder of how to treat others.

I remember that feeling of excitement and begging for just a little bit more when it came to read aloud. That's how communities are formed. That's the power of literature! Thank you for sharing these moments.Amanda Villagómezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119297811490732509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-69892734329796186952013-11-12T19:01:14.609-06:002013-11-12T19:01:14.609-06:00This sounds like a book I need to be getting becau...This sounds like a book I need to be getting because it would be a lesson for all ages...even adults! I was really surprised that so many said that it would be worse to be laughed at. I wonder if the answers would change with different age groups? Something to think about.Leigh Anne Eckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558611848583070310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-19913539129026768312013-11-12T17:31:51.627-06:002013-11-12T17:31:51.627-06:00Sounds like a wonderful book - and how cool that y...Sounds like a wonderful book - and how cool that your kids got to chat with the author!Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-28380001135390805062013-11-12T15:12:26.440-06:002013-11-12T15:12:26.440-06:00Trudy Ludwig is awesome!

I love when authors are willing to communicate like this! (And her book is fantastic to boot!)

This makes me think of something that I read once (but I don't know who or where it came from) stories teach us how to be human. I think this book might just do that. <br />To answer your question, I think being laughed at would be worse for me. That means everyone notices you and when they laugh at you they are saying that something is wrong with you. I love Luke's response, because that's what I think too.elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348895330633879894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-87631788385639671172013-11-12T08:05:29.956-06:002013-11-12T08:05:29.956-06:00I've seen this book reviewed by others, too, M...I've seen this book reviewed by others, too, Michelle. thank you for sharing about your experience with the students, too.
