Davey is a smart kid and dreams big. He also has a gigantic head, much too big in proportion to his body. His head gets stuck in things quite often, including the school bus door. All the kids at his school make fun of him.
One night Davey has trouble falling asleep because he isn’t accepted by the other kids. All of a sudden Davey gets an idea. The next day he asks the soccer coach at school to put him on the team. His big head will be an asset their.
Davey Bighead is the story of how one kid learned how to make his difference from other kids an asset. It is a cute story. I do however, wish the author would have some how worked it into the story about how kids need to learn how to accept each others differences. I think it’s important to teach tolerance and I don’t think that this book achieves this.
If you do decide to read this book with your children, please talk about acceptance of others with them.
