"One" is a story that teaches children how to stand up for themselves and others when they come up against people who try to intimidate them ("bullies"), and that it just takes one person to make a difference.
Without giving preconceived ideas about what these "bullies" might look like, the author instead uses colors and numbers to illustrate her point. Although the ending is a bit ideal with the "bully" deciding to accept the invitation by the others to be their friend (which would be wonderful if that was always the outcome!), it does give kids the idea that you can help make a difference in other people's lives.
My 5 yr old son is just starting to have to be introduced to this whole subject, and he loves the clever use of colors, numbers and feelings that are depicted. A wonderful introduction in how to deal with others who try to make you feel bad about yourself, and how to even help them feel better about themselves!

I stumbled across this book while on vacation and couldn't leave the store without it. I wasn't sure if I could get it in Canada. (Of course, now I know it can be ordered without enormous shipping costs). With the "Imagine a school without bullying" initiatives going on in Ontario, this is one of my favourite finds about bullying. "One" incorporates many topics in a simple, creative, and appealing story. Kathryn Otoshi has found a very imaginative way to teach (not preach) about kindness and getting along with others and to spur conversations about bullying -not just what it is, but also what to do about it. Colours, numbers, and size are woven into the story in a very natural way. As a Kindergarten teacher, I can't wait to incorporate this story into my program and to share it with other teachers at my school! "One" is a valuable story for children and adults alike. Enjoy!

This book does a great job in conveying how both a bully and a bullied person feel. It makes children understand that it is not alright to stand by and do nothing while bulling is going on. This is a great book, original and interesting. A great book for teachers to read to their class!

Creative
Colour to talk about bullying is so unique. The message is given in a very subtle way. The book is aimed at primary level. It is worth having it in your collection.

Simple says it best
This book is so striking that our school district's primary teachers bought a copy for every school library. The story is simple but clear and direct. Read more

"Blue was a quiet color."
I'm not going to provide a summary of this work because the "plot" is not really the best part of this work. Read more
