My MOST favorite book to read with my students. This book teaches about grief, acceptance, peer pressure, family, traditions, friendships and so much more. This book has it all and keeps kids interested from beginning to end.

Honestly, I held off on this for a long time. It didn't look good. It is amazing and full of opportunities for discussion. It is a little more difficult text-so wait until the end of the year or use with a higher group.
