At our house we do a lot of reading...books, books are everywhere! And I thought I would share a book by Brigitte Weninger and illustrated by Eve Tharlet called, A Child Is A Child. I have to be honest and say that when I first read the book it made me cry and I sort of missed the point of the story because I was so focused on the sad beginning.
Its the story of 2 tiny frogs who lose their mommy and daddy. They are found by 3 different animals, all who express that they are not able to take care of the frogs because they themselves are not frogs and frogs need to be taken care of by frogs. Then a mama mouse comes along with her baby mice and she says that she will take them! Her bottom line is simple, a child is a child and every child needs love, a home, good food, and a safe place to play. I just thinks its a great story and has a wonderful sense of community to it and how a community can come together to "raise," teach its children and keep them safe!

Hello Darcie, This seems to a very interesting book I would purchase for my students.Every child is not raised in a home by their parents. This book teaches a child that someone else can love and care for them too.
ReplyDeleteHello Darcie,
ReplyDeleteYes this a very interesting book. I feel it is sad when children have no one to love and care for them. Every child have feelings if they are raised by their parents or either someone else. It is our job and responsibility to keep them safe the best we can until they are old enough to go their own way.
