Exploring the themes of friendship and bullying, this heartwarming picture book features a young girl with a friend named Dorothy. Dorothy is not like the other children at school: she is very big, always drops crumbs when she eats, and birds often land on her head without her realizing it. The narrator's other friends don't accept Dorothy and exclude her from their adventures, encouraging the narrator to do the same. But the narrator doesn't give into their bullying; she loves that Dorothy is different, and that's what makes Dorothy her best friend. Guided Reading Level K Lexile Level 520L
