Great for encouraging inclusion!
My 4 year olds preschool class kept leaving certain friends out when they played. We read this book and it helped him to imagine when that happens it makes the other friend feel “invisible” like in the book! Highly recommend. It is great for ages 4-10! I enjoyed it too!

wonderful story for grades K-4
I love this book. I hope it gets to be a classic one of these days. It's all about a quiet little boy who is ignored by his classmates and even his teacher. The creative use of color by the illustrator as the story goes on lends this book to great discussions about reality vs. fantasy--"Is the little boy really invisible?" what it means to be invisible and how we treat each other. Every time I read it to classrooms in K-4, I get quite the emotional responses from kids, and they are captivated by this story. It's beautifully written and illustrated. (Retired special ed teacher)

Includes characters of color as normal kids
I love so many things about this book, but one thing I particularly appreciate is how she shows minority students as normal kids. I understand that there need to be books about kids with family from China and their unique Chinese-American struggles, but there also need to be books about Asian-American kids who are just regular kids. I also appreciate that the Asian kid in this story is not "The Asian Kid" in the way that so much media portrays them: geeky, recently immigrated, the sidekick, quiet, passive, etc. Nothing wrong with those traits-- it's just that we need to show more characteristics than JUST those. I appreciate seeing an Asian kid as a normal, confident, considerate, and thoughtful leader who can both be a regular American kid while being proud of his ethnic background. The symbolism with the color was also very touching! Loved the illustrations and artwork, and have been recommending this book to my friends! If I were still teaching in the classroom, it would be one of the books I kept on display all year!

Great book with a great message
Must have for any classroom or child’s library! This book has such an important message that every child must learn but it is written in a way that is engaging and on their level.
