The Triplets Meet the New Kid by Sarah Cotty and Rachel Ipsan is a very inspiring story about three sisters and their encounter with the new kid in school, Mia.
Heartwarming, engaging and filled with unforgettable life lessons, this is a book that can make a difference when it comes to educating the young.
As Nina, Nancy and Nono try to react to the arrival of the new student, the reader can follow and learn from the consequences of each one’s unique response to Mia.
With each scenario, the reader can also be asked for their particular opinion of why the sisters reacted differently. As such, this is a golden opportunity to teach while invoking both their imagination and ethical response.
Filled with vibrant illustrations that can immediately capture the attention of readers, this book can draw them more powerfully to its message of friendship and kindness.
One can see the effect of excluding someone because of one’s uniqueness. At the same time, the reader can realize how to overcome one’s personal fears when it comes to meeting new people.
How would the readers feel if they were the new kid with glasses? Would they feel safe and comfortable with their new surroundings? Would they feel less confident about themselves?
On the other hand, the young ones can place themselves in the shoes of the three sisters in the story.
If they were Nancy, what could have caused them to remain silent even if a classmate is already being teased or excluded by other students? Or if they were Nono, would they have made a different choice? How should they overcome Nono’s dilemma so that they don’t end up joining those who made fun of the new kid in school?
What does it take to be like Nina? If she were the only student who showed true kindness to Mia, how was she able to do that? What virtues must they possess so that they don’t join those who teased her or those who remained silent while she was being made fun of.
This is a highly recommended book for parents and teachers who would like to teach the young ones about what true kindness means. Educational, practical and moving, this book will certainly be worth reading over and over again.
