Description

Raj has one rule: he never uses the bathroom at school. It’s just not the same as the one at home. All day, he avoids bathroom trips. Easy enough, since he lives by these tips: Don’t linger at the sink. Stay away from anyone who makes you laugh. Watch out for distractions, especially schoolwork. And sit still: no running, jumping, cartwheels, or sneezing. Until one day—achoo!—Raj has to break his own rule.

After he faces his fear and uses the bathroom at school, Raj feels different. He doesn’t have to rush! He can try new things, laugh, explore … even enjoy his work. He can stay awhile and play. Raj discovers things are better if you just go when you need to.

Told in speech bubbles with bright, lively art showing a diverse group of kids, this is a riotous rhyming read-aloud with an empathetic take on facing a common fear.

Raj follows the rule of only using the bathroom at home, because it is familiar. He avoids some fun things at school so he doesn’t have to use the school bathroom. One day, he has to break his rule.

This is a fun story told through speech bubbles in Raj’s point of view. The illustrations are well done. I would definitely share this book with students.

I was provided an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to author Lana Button, Owlkids, and NetGalley for the opportunity.

Funny and relatable story, the art is rich and full of diverse children enjoying their school day. Raj's Rule is made to be broken.

This will be a great book for kiddos who tend to be nervous or anxious. I like the gentle encouragement to try something new throughout the book and the positive consequences of the boys' bravery.

The bright and detailed illustrations are visually appealing and the rhyming verses always make reading aloud more fun for both the reader and listeners.
