Kali the Elephant Learns from Socrates the Philosopher by Neera K Badhwar

What do you do when friends tease you about how you look? Read this award-winning book to find out what Kali does, inspired by the wise philosopher, Socrates.
Kali the Elephant is hurt when her elementary-school friends make fun of her big ears, long trunk, and too-big-for-an-elephant eyes. She tries everything to shrink her features, but sadly, nothing works. She then turns to her comic books and discovers that the ancient philosopher Socrates was also teased for his appearance. But how did he respond to his friends? With a twinkle in his eye, Socrates used clever humor to turn the teasing around. Inspired by his wisdom, Kali finds the perfect words to reply to her friends, a reply that leaves everyone laughing and wishing they looked like her!
