"We learn why it is okay to be different from everyone else!"

Nicole Galletta, librarian, Big Ridge Elementary

 

Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed by Mo Willems is the Hamilton Book of the Week nominated by Big Ridge Elementary. Wilbur is different from the other Naked Mole Rats in his Colony because he wears clothes (and he likes it!). But what will happen when Grandpa, the oldest, wisest, and most naked Naked Mole Rat ever discovers Wilbur's secret.  Funnyman and three-time Caldecott Honoree Mo Willems exposes the naked truth about being yourself and wearing it well.
