Mr. Lincoln's Way by Patricia Polacco
We are all different. This book is about a beloved principal. Everyone at the school loved him except Eugene. Eugene had been taught at home that anyone who has a different color skin than him were people he should not like or associate with. Eugene was a bully at school. The principal realizes that he needs to do something about Eugene before he seriously hurts someone. The principal sees Eugene admiring birds. He asks Eugene to help him pick out plants for the atrium that will attract birds. Eugene enjoys what he is doing, and realizes that people of other races are no different than him. This is a great book to portray that we are all equal, and we should try and find things in common with each other.
