Rose Marie is the new girl in class and almost everyone teases her about being overweight. Only Claire--herself a victim of cruel taunting--notices Rose Marie's attributes. Told with humor and insight, Fat, Fat Rose Marie offers a thought-provoking story of appreciating people for who they are, and recognizing the value of true friendship.
