The Unperfect Cookie

By Rena Laniado

When bakers from all over the world teach their students how to make cookies, they try to create the most perfect cookies. They must all look the sameperfectly round, with no room for differences.
When the cookies are done, the bakers inspect every cookie, and they set aside all the ones that dont fit the perfect cookie mold: theyre too dark, too fat, too small, too light, too bumpy, or too lumpy. But what happens when one brave baking teacher chooses to taste the imperfect cookies? All of the bakers soon learn that its whats inside that counts, no matter how different they look on the outside.
In this tale of baking students learning about cookies, children learn a valuable lesson about acceptance and tolerance for all, regardless of differences.
