Two Speckled Eggs by Jennifer Mann

Mann, Jennifer. Two Speckled Eggs. Somerville: Candlewick Press, 2014. 32p.

Ginger wants to invite all of the girls in her class except for one to her birthday party. She tries to exclude Lyla Browning, who likes tarantulas, rarely speaks and is very different from the other girls. When Ginger's mom tells her to invite all of the girls or none, Ginger chooses to include Lyla and is in for a major surprise!

 

This is the perfect book for discussing the impact of judging other people and for treasuring the unique qualities that make people different.
