Something Good
by Corinna Luyken, Marcy Campbell
Age: 1st-3rd grade
Tough Issues: Bigoted/demeaning graffiti
Word spreads about the bad-something that was written in the girl's bathroom at school, changing the entire emotional climate of the school. Through art, one teacher encourages his class to paint a mural in the bathroom. While some books might triumphantly end on this good note, Campbell looks a little bit deeper at the lingering effects of the bad-something. That it was still somewhere deep underneath and not completely gone, but the children had changed it with their good-somethings.
A really remarkable look at the power of something so little and how it can quickly get out-of-hand without properly recognizing and recovering from it. And Luyken's artwork is astounding as always.
