Do your students ever feel like they want to change who they are to fit in? A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni is such a beautiful story about learning to love yourself just the way you are.

To wrap it all up, students can create an adorable chameleon craft and display their work with the included bulletin board letters for a colorful classroom display.
