- Reading
- Try reading one story at a time, aloud together or independently. Pause afterwards to let your child respond to the people’s choices; the collection is presented for both shared and solo reading.
- Themes
- Choices and character: True stories drawn from childhood experiences illustrate qualities including acceptance, honesty, kindness and responsibility. The collection presents these qualities as themes for reflection through personal stories, rather than establishing a single plot or argument.
- Personal-story collection: The book gathers accounts by children and adults recalling childhood, including themes of friendship and making choices. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- The stories address the sometimes trying and confusing experience of being a child, including friendship and choices. Individual situations and their emotional intensity vary, so check in if a particular story feels close to your child’s experience.
