"Dottie and the New Student incorporates differences in such a positive and subtle fun way. It encourages kids to be different and shines light on how these differences make us who we are. Putting this topic in terms of penguins allows it to be fun and engaging without singling out any child. The illustrations were very detailed and added to the overall story."
