It’s easy to be lost and overlooked in a noisy world of boisterous classmates. Brian lives on the margins in the lunch room, the playground, and even in class. That is until, Justin moves to town. Brian steps out of his comfort zone just a bit and finds a new friend who gives him a place in the circle. Patrice Barton’s illustrations bring Brian into full-bodied color as the story unfolds. The Invisible Boy is a case study in kindness and a celebration of the power of friendship. One good friend can allow us to bring out our best as they create the setting in which we can shine. The story is an invitation to be a change agent in our daily lives! Extend the exploration by encouraging the whole family or First Day School class to watch for those on the margins in any situation and to simply acknowledge, affirm, or include them.
