Everyone has a Point of View (Reflective Young Readers)

First in the Mindful Young Readers series, this book is a must for every thoughtful classroom and home library. Beautifully illustrated with post-reading questions and activities, this book challenges young readers to consider the millions (and billions) of perspectives in our world. From here, children can begin to understand themselves better--both as individuals and as a part of the whole. A picture book to be treasured by all ages, the simple, poetic journey takes us across cultures, ages, and places--connecting people, animals, and even aspects of nature as a web of varying points of view. Its culminating theme, that "Everyone has a point of view...and to itself, each one is true"--is a leap towards empathy and understanding. The "Thinking Ladder" pages, informed by Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning, challenge and expand young minds in new ways. The questions are designed for children of all ages, which makes this book ideal to use as a springboard for "big" ideas or themes. Everyone has a Point of View is as meaningful and timeless as it is memorable.
