The Kid in the Red Jacket

        Howard changed my mind because he showed me how hard it is to move to a new school. I thought it would be ok because I have never moved before.  But he showed me that when you’re new, it’s hard to fit in and have friends. They treated him like they didn’t care that he was new by not acknowledging him. The book changed my mind in how it must be hard sometimes for people to make change and to meet new people. This book changed my heart because when people are sad or are alone I feel sad for them. I say are you ok and tell the teachers or help them. I felt this way when Molly was sad that her mom and dad left her . The book changed my heart by focusing on other people’s emotions.
