I wasn't kidding when I said I was focused on self-acceptance this week! If you missed my other posts about self-acceptance you can check them out HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. Today I am showcasing several books that I use to teach lessons on self-acceptance.

Zoe is a green triangle stuck in a world of red circles. Zoe has a hard time fitting in with the others because she is different. This is a great book for teaching students to be themselves even if they are different than others. It is a great reminder that everyone has something unique about them. You can purchase Zoe The Misfit HERE.
Hey, You're Great!
This book is great for students in grades 4-8. The story is fun and talks about the silliness that comes from trying to be just like others.
