Grandfather's Dream is a dream read!

This is an invaluable book in the classroom! I am using it with a study of Vietnam for 1/2 grade gifted students. It would be an excellent vehicle to convey the message to any classroom that if we have a healthy environment, we have a healthy planet. It is gently written but tells so much about the culture and people of Vietnam.

Grandfather's Dream

I am surprised no one else has written a review of this book. It is an excellent book, used in many school districts as multicultural, narrative literature. THis book can be teamed with Sadako and/or the Magic Crane to show examples of the belief that cranes bring good luck. It can even be tied in with an origami lesson on folding paper cranes.
