Measuring Angels
By Lesley Ely
Illustrated by Polly Dunbar
A gentle story about bullying and friendship.
School is miserable for this little girl. Sophie whispers horrid things about her to the other children -- and even worse, Sophie is her partner for a new science project. They are given a sunflower seed and the children want each of their plants to be the tallest. The two girls argue and the little plant grows badly. As their friendship develops, the little plant begins to grow.
- Lesley and Polly's first book together, "Looking After Louis", won the NASEN Special Needs Book Award in 2006.
