"Chocolate Milk, Por Favor" is a fictional story written by Maria Dismondy, illustrated by Donna Farrell, and published in 2015. This is a great book about an ESL student in a new school and the frustration and fear that he felt at first. It also gave insights into another students feelings and behaviors towards the new students. This is a great book for ages 4-9. This book could be used in a classroom to talk about how our actions speak louder than words. Students could from groups and act out a scenario where actions speak louder than words. This book would also be great for explaining what empathy is. Then you could use the story of Johnny and Gabe as an example in the classroom. You could have students decorate a carton of chocolate milk with ways that they can help those around them.
