Great discussion!
I adore RULES by Cynthia Lord as a great example of a book that shows what it means to be a good friend and sibling and not be afraid to be yourself. So many kids I've recommended this book to tell me afterward about the brother/sister/cousin who has autism.
Gritty and relatable, Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key (and all the Joey Pigza Books) is an excellent read with a realistic portrayal of ADHD and treatment.

Subject:
Great Expectations
It's time to move on to our topic for the second part of September: Great Expectations.
Some books offer great examples of positive-or negative-behaviors. Whether they are funny or poignant, books that honestly and authentically depict characters at their best or their worst offer great opportunities to talk about (or quietly model) behavior and expectations. What are books you've found helpful in affirming your own great expectations for kids in the classroom, in the library, and beyond?
The idea for this discussion topic grew out of meetings we had this summer with a couple of wonderful Wisconsin teachers who spent several days at the CCBC looking at books through the lens of RTI (Response to Intervention) needs. In addition to the reading/literacy component of RTI, they talked about the behavioral component, and the need for books that model or create openings for conversations about behavior and expectations.
(Several years ago CCBC librarian Merri LIndgren created a bibliography for preschool/early childhood teachers called "Great Expectations." Check it out at: 196)
