Courtney's girls hosted our April book club for Eleanor Estes's, The Hundred Dresses. This book is a short read but a good one. There is a Polish girl in the story who is singled out and bullied by a group of girls who don't realize how much their words hurt until it is too late to apologize. We had a great conversation with our girls about what it feels like to be the girl standing outside the crowd and not quite fitting in or being left out entirely. We tried to remind them to always be welcoming and that you never know what special gifts and talents a person has until you get to know them. The craft was to design dresses for these adorable paper dolls... brilliant!
