The Invisible Boy Hardcover – Picture Book, October 8, 2013

excellent book. gave it to my mom as a gift to use in her classroom.

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.

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!

I loved how this little boy, who was usually excluded from games and such made anew kid feel welcomed right from the beginning. Also, when another child tried to engage the new kid in play, the new kid didn't forget the kindness the "invisible" boy showed him, and wanted to include him before he agreed to go with the other child.

My granddaughter asked for this book for her birthday! It’s wonderful to know that she loves to read books more than her tablet!!!😃

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.
