Bookworm Buzz: Saturday, January 30th

Please send us your Bookworm Buzz suggestions at weekendmorningshow@wkyc.com and we'll feature them each Saturday morning.

Each Saturday, we highlight a couple of children's books to stress the importance of literacy.

While Kim was at Applewood Elementary in Brunswick recently, the students shared some of their favorite books with her. The theme was being kind to others and not bullying each other.

First, is "Recess Queen" by Alexis O'Neill. This is about a playground bully, who is a girl, but there is a happy ending.

Next is "Carla's Sandwich" by Debbie Herman. It's about a little girl who gets teased at lunch because of her unusual sandwiches. It teaches respect and tolerance.

And finally for the younger kids, "Chrysanthemum" by Kevin Henkes. The main character is teased about her name, but ends up with a good dose of self esteem.
