It can be embedded throughout the curriculum. The messages are terrific and are suited to children of all ages... This could be used to develop a school wide anti-bullying initiative and a commitment to social justice. You can integrate social justice, language, arts, drama, health, music and more. The possibilities are endless.-- ""ETFO Voice"" Rosemary McCarney's picture books consistently impart positive messages and, in Being Me, Rosie the Red is a great vehicle for teaching kids about food banks and that those who avail themselves of its offerings are no less than those who have enough food to eat without help.-- ""CanLit for Little Canadians"" The illustrations are wonderful...The colour is lush and the drawings propel the story in in all the right places.-- ""Resource Links"" This is a story with a wonderful message about making a difference.-- ""City Parent"""
