This is a great book to talk about individual differences in the classroom. Sometimes you think you look different or think different is not because you are different, it is because you are special.
In the book Buford the little bighorn talks about this ram has a very big horn compared to other rams. The bighorn brings a lot of challenges to the little ram. However, his bighorn saved his life from hunters, and he became famous because of his bighorns.
This is a good read for 3rd to 5th grade.
