Heartwarming Story

I had the opportunity to share this book with a third grade class of an inner-city school during a Read-Aloud Day. This story of third-grader Andre captured the students' attention because he was someone just like themselves. The students could relate to the ethnic background of the family and could sympathize with the family's struggle to get through the week until the next paycheck arrived. I especially appreciated how the story showed how families that are not "well-to-do" can problem-solve creatively...this family may be short on money, but never are they short on love. The illustrations are beautiful and do an excellent job of supporting the story. I highly recommend this book as part of a multicultural curriculum as well as to share with your children at home.
