The Bad Seed

Hoorah! I learned to read the book to myself before reading with the kids. I don't understand the hype on this one and I'm so happy to avoid my spouse being told he's bad by my toddlers because he's late to everything. Also, it's hard enough when family tells my kids they are bad for being age appropriate, can you imagine if my kids then accepted that label because the bad seed is bad sometimes and good other times?

My kids actually LoLed at this one. Terrific illustrations and a great message!

This book is the perfect metaphor for how trauma and depression can change you and people won't understand. However, the message in the end is that it doesn't have to define you and with a little bit of work you can change. This would be a great book for starting a discussion in the classroom or at home about how things that happen to us affect how we act.
