A simple act of kindness can transform an invisible boy into a friend...

Meet Brian, the invisible boy. Nobody ever seems to notice him or think to include him in their group, game, or birthday party . . . until, that is, a new kid comes to class.

When Justin, the new boy, arrives, Brian is the first to make him feel welcome. And when Brian and Justin team up to work on a class project together, Brian finds a way to shine.

From esteemed author and speaker Trudy Ludwig and acclaimed illustrator Patrice Barton, this gentle story shows how small acts of kindness can help children feel included and allow them to flourish. Any parent, teacher, or counselor looking for material that sensitively addresses the needs of quieter children will find The Invisible Boy a valuable and important resource. 

Includes backmatter with discussion questions and resources for further reading.

I like this book because, it is about this boy who thinks that he is invisible because he has no friends. Until the new kid Brian starts to become is friend and other kids realize that he is a nice kid. And they all become friends! This book is a good book to read for fun!

Invisible boy is a really good book but I think the theme is friendship because when he came to the school he had no friends but then he started making friends this book also made me feel sad but more happy when it got to the end.

its about a boy who sees himself as "invisible" until a new boy comes in and try's to be his friend, and other kids see this and invite him to sit with him at lunch and he makes friends, its a good book to read for book-a-day!

I really like this book and that he just a normal kid and he don't like to be invisable but this new kid brian and they start to be friends and he become uninvisable

I am in Kindergarten, I like the name of the book. I like how the kid makes a friend by writing a note...that is all it takes :)

This book was really good the photos say more than the words do and it really shows how not to judge people or be mean to them.

I loved this book but it is so sad and I was so sad about the news,this story tells us that you should not being mean to your classmates in the classroom.
