Bob and Otto by Robert O. Bruel. Eventhough this book is intended for children between the ages of 4-8, I would most definately use it with my 5th. Graders in Science class when teaching them about (metamorphosis, the Nitrogen Cycle) how we are all different and the same in many ways, but most importantly how we are all dependant on each other in some way or another. Bob, a caterpillar, and Otto, an earthworm are great friends who love to spend time together and never notice anything different amongst themselves. One day, Bob decides to climb a tree and time later comes back to the ground completely changed as a butterfly. This makes Otto feel different but they come to realize that without each other, they might not exist.
Moral of the story: Eventhough we are the same and different, we all need one another.
