Thank you, Mr. Falker
By Patricia Polacco
Embracing Potential, Leadership, Peacemakers for Life, Growth Mindset, Knowledge is Power,
15 min. without interruption
30 min. with prompts throughout.
Ideal for grades fourth and up...But VERY ideal.
The book is long, but because of the story may not require as much discussion throughout...an important book, with a real life example of how a leader can change things. In this way, the book connects to "Peacemaker for Life."
Patricia Polacco...reknowned children’s author and illustrator...could not read when she was 14. Eventually she was diagnosed with dsylexia...this book is about her struggles with reading, and school, and the teacher who believed in her. The teacher is a leader in the community...because he believed in Patricia, she became a leader in the community as well, and reached millions of students with her books.(#KnowledgeisPower)
