One
By Kathryn Otoshi
So I bought this book for my sons when I ran across it at Busboys and Poets in Washington DC on our vacation. I love this book! It talks about bullying and how sometimes it takes just one to stand up to a bully. It also expresses the power the collective whole has when individuals stand together. It is a beautiful book! It's language and reading level is very low and it is yet able to present such complex themes. Written by Kathryn Otoshi, who also illustrates her books. She is coming out with another kid's book called "Zero". I am yearning to also read it. I think another reason I like this book is because Kathryn Otoshi has her own publishing label: KO Kid's Books. Praise and honor to our independent publishers.
