Mrs. Veldhuizen

A heartwarming story about a 5th grade boy going to public school for the very first time. Augie was born with a facial deformity but comes to realize that what's on the inside of a person is so much more important than what's on the outside. Along the way Augie meets several classmates who have a variety of reactions to his outward appearance. A favorite book that I've read at least three times!
