Summary
Sticks and Stones
"Inspirational and tinged with nostalgia, this will please fans." -- Kirkus Reviews "A well-intentioned tale full of expressive scenes...heartfelt."-- School Library Journal From New York Times bestselling author and master storyteller Patricia Polacco comes the uplifting tale of three inseparable friends who pursue their talents and stop at nothing to achieve their dreams. Based on her own childhood memory, author Patricia Polacco shares the pivotal story of one year in elementary school. On the first day of school, she breaks out in a rash and is called "Cootie" by her classmates. It seems like the year will be a disaster for Patricia until she meets Thom and Ravenne. Each of the friends have their own talent. Thom, with his long legs and graceful manner, loves to dance ballet earning him the name "Sissy Boy." Ravenne makes kits and paints on fabric, but she's shy that people call her "Her Ugliness." Thom, Ravenne, and Patricia are bullied by their classmates causing the three friends to band together for support. For years after that fateful year, encourage each other to stay true to themselves and achieve success in their passions. This endearing and timely story celebrates uniqueness and proves that no matter what challenges stand in your way it's your differences that make you who you are.
