Sassafras leads the way to higher self esteem
Sassafras is a young skunk who feels different, unliked, and embarrassed for the fact that he sometimes STINKS. He learns that every living creature has something about him or her that is different, but "different" can also mean unique and wonderful. With the help of friends, family, and others with problems of their own, he learns that the "stink" is what makes him special, even heroic. All kids are special. They just need to be told. Sassafras is funny and fun and teaches us all a very important lesson. Acceptance.

Wonderful read!
Terrific little book for your primary grade reader. The illustrations are warm, and the skunk is adorable. A great complement to this book is "Why Can't I Spray Today?" by Francine Poppo Rich, which is a beautifully written and illustrated children's book for the younger reader (ages 2-5).

Great lesson in tolerance for all of us.
As a school counselor, I have used Sassafras for years as an example for children to be open to differences in themselves and others. It is also a great lesson in the power of words and their ability to damage a person for a very long time! We really do say some very "stinky" things to others!

Product Description
Sassafras is a charming picture book that tells the story of a little skunk who feels ashamed of his "smelly-old, stinky-old, funky-old" self. But as he plays with his many woodland friends—each special and unique—Sassafras discovers he, too, has a rare and special gift all his own.
