Being Bella

When Bella decides to paint instead of doing her homework, Leo the paintbrush teaches her about the importance of respecting herself. Together, Bella and Leo learn that there are many ways to respect yourself, including exercising, trying your best, and working hard to be a better you! Additional features to aid comprehension include a table of contents, a section on using respectful words, a S.T.E.A.M. activity, a phonetic glossary, sources for further research including web sites, an index, and an introduction to the author. It's time to brush up on respect! Take readers on a journey with a lively cast of characters as they learn about respect and why it's important to respect parents, peers, the environment, and more! Engaging sidebars illuminate concepts and promote further discussion, while 'Respectful Talk' sentence starters and STEAM activities encourage students to explore respect in the classroom and at home.
