PPBF: Invisible Jerry
Today I'm excited because yesterday I started a new opportunity
checking in on and coaching the counselors in a nearby district.
I saw these words on a poster on the wall in one of the schools.
It really is just that easy. But it can be difficult, too, especially in which busy-ness seems to be a status symbol. It can also push us out of our comfort zones, to be smiling at and greeting everyone in your orbit.
Title: Invisible Jerry
Author: Adam Wallace

Brief synopsis: Jerry felt invisible until Molly, a kind I-see-you-you-matter girl, came along and made him feel visible. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could have a Molly? Or maybe {gasp} even a Jerry?
Opening page: People didn't notice Jerry.

Watch my read-aloud and enjoy the kids' reactions!
Why I like this book: I fell in love with Jerry when I picked this book up right before the holidays, so much so that I put it on my Christmas wish list. Just this week I took it to my friend's second-grade class to read it aloud and boom, those superheroes loved it as much as I did, probably because of the self-to-text connections because who among us hasn't felt invisible? It's our human nature to want to connect; in fact, we're hard-wired for it! So missed opportunities can make us feel sad, lonely, invisible.
A compare and contrast with The Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwig will make such a powerful self-awareness vehicle for our children to take a look at how they want to be treated by others and, conversely, how they treat others. The friends I read it to really loved that Jerry doesn't stop at just receiving attention and care from Molly, but that he finds a way to pay it forward when another invisible child, Paul, comes into his orbit.
Encourage your students to draw an Invisible Selfie about a time that the felt invisible complete with a list of feelings that they had about it and feelings that they can imagine that others going through a similar experience might have. Then have them draw their Visible Selfies on another sheet and display them side by side to create a selfie-awareness visual.
Check out Invisible Jerry and prepare to fall in love, too.
