Cliques Just Don't Make Cents!

by Julia Cook, Anita DuFalla (Illustrator)

Overview

Penny tries to hang with the silver Coin Clique, but she usually feels left out.
The other coins, especially Quarter and Half Dollar are best friends, do everything together, and tell Penny she isn't worth much.

Then one day Penny lands in a pocket with the beautiful, gold Dollar coin. She is different from the silver coins too, and she starts to teach Penny how special and valuable she really is. With Dollar's help, Penny learns to feel as shiny on the inside as she looks on the outside.

Cliques Just Don't Make Cents is a book that helps kids understand the emotional toll that cliques can have on children who are excluded from popular social groups and teaches them how to build better relationships. Included in the book are tips for parents, teachers, and counselors on how to help young people,
especially girls, who feel left out by others.
