Sarafina is nervous about going to school, but she’s also excited because she’s going to be showing off her new necklace with her name. But when the other children make fun of her name, she starts to feel self-conscious and embarrassed about it. Fortunately for Sarafina, her teacher is there to help her understand that having a unique name, a longer name, is actually a whole lot of fun. Sarafina can help the rest of the class understand the important things that she can do in Sarafina and the Not-So-Wonderful Day by Carol A. Bacon.
This book is all about a little puppy who wants to be proud of who she is, but feels like she’s not as important as her friends at school. This is something that a lot of small children go through when they go to school. They get picked on because of something about themselves that they want to be proud of. They definitely deserve to see how important they are and why they should be celebrated. The children in this book figure out that there’s something really cool about being different and I think this will be a great message for other children as well.
Sarafina and the Not-So-Wonderful Day is a good book for small children and will help them feel more confident in themselves as well. Carol A. Bacon has created a great piece that will keep the attention of young readers because of the colors and pictures as well as the words.
