Lesson Plans
Reading my books to your students is just the start. I have some discussion ideas and lesson plans based on the books ready to download!

Lesson 1 focuses on identity and self-concept and offers an activity and discussion on self-image and self-concept by using the characters as a stepping stone.
Lesson 2 focuses on self-confidence and offers an expanded activity and discussion on identity and self-esteem.
You’ll also get a Writing Response activity for Stella’s Brave Voice, and a Venn Diagram activity comparing/contrasting The Only Me & Stella’s Brave Voice, as well as a Fill-in-the-Blank activity for Petunia the Perfectionist.
Materials provided are detailed lesson plans with definitions for each major concept, a printable template, and coloring pages.
Appropriate for grades K-3
