Fantastic eye-opening read for all ages!
"It started as an assignment. Everyone in Caitlin's class wrote to an unknown student somewhere in a distant place. All the other kids picked countries like France or Germany, but when Caitlin saw Zimbabwe written on the board, it sounded like the most exotic place she had ever heard of--so she chose it. Martin was lucky to even receive a pen pal letter. There were only ten letters, and forty kids in his class. But he was the top student, so he got the first one." Good Reads
An amazing story about how one young person CAN make a difference. Caitlin Alifirenka's epilogue states her message so well:" If our story could move people to tears, could it move them to act? I wondered. To be kinder to one another? To take a chance and do good things for deserving people?"
Yes, we will share this message and we will help our students discover how they too can act and make a difference!
Happy Reading!
