Each book will deal with one of the following topics: death of a family member, death of a pet, sickness of a family member, divorce, new baby or moving. Students will also explore the Parent Collection in the library and choose one book that you would suggest to a parent based on a specific event the family was facing.
For each the five children’s books and the parent book students will list the Title, Author and give a brief synopsis of each book.
Students will select one of the children’s books and write an Activity Plan and present the book to the class at a Zoom meeting. The parent book will also be shared.
