Woolbur (Leslie Helakoski)

 



We loved the language that was repeated again and again because once students realized that was happening, they'd join in.  This would be a good companion book with Fifty Four Things Wrong Gwendolyn Rogers with respect to the feelings parents have when their child isn't a conformist! 

Goodreads says:

Woolbur is a free-spirited, fluffy, one-of-a-kind sheep! He knows the most important accessories are confidence and fearlessness.

Woolbur is not like other sheep. He hangs out with wild dogs and even dyes his wool blue.

"Don't worry!" says Grandpaa when Maa and Paa fret that Woolbur is different. But when they tell their son to follow the flock, the opposite happens—the flock follows him! Soon everyone is copying his wild hairstyles and taking turns on the spinning wheel. Leave it to Woolbur to find a new way to step ahead of the herd.

Spunky, funky, and refreshingly distinct, Woolbur will strike a chord with anyone who's ever felt different. And that's all of us!
