Notes

44 pages : coloured illustrations Summary: First Week Blues centres on a little penguin called Blue who is starting his first week at school. Blue is different from the other birds in his class. They think Blue is weird and do not accept him; they exclude and laugh at him. As Blue's first week progresses the other birds' less visible vulnerabilities are exposed. Through a social, emotional learning approach, the book promotes tolerance, vulnerability, acceptance and celebrates diversity. The book aims to boost a child's self-esteem and help them realise that being different is a positive trait
