The Boy in the Orange Cape by Adam Ciccio

I’m a retired librarian and I know a great read-aloud when I see it! Oh, the story is just perfect! In this day of all the upheaval and bickering, I found this book to show children how sweet it is to face your “bullies” and to win them over! Cory wore an orange cape today and he is bullied every day after that. He continues to wear his capes and finally a sweet friend helps Cory out by getting every kid in school to wear a cape. The bully is the only one without a cape so Cory offers one to him ! So sweet! All my librarian friends reading this will go wild reading this book to students! Can you imagine making different color (paper) capes as described in the book and letting students in the audience play the part? Fun story and great way to teach problem solving!
