The new king by Doreen Rappaport
Prince Rakoto of Madagascar is very young when his father, the king, passes. As his first act as king, Rakoto orders the court doctor, magician, and councilor in turn to bring his father back. Finally he turns to the Wise Woman who tells him a story about why people die and do not return. He goes on to become a loving and just ruler.
The book is diverse and uses a setting that some children may not know about, so it is a good teaching point for the teacher.
This book is about a young boy named Saruni who wants to save up his money for a bike. This book takes place in Tanzania. In the book it shows how his savings are growing, and how he organizes the coins into rows and piles. I think this book is great for students because it teaches them the value of money and working hard for the things you want in life.
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine...a very simple and powerful song, just like this book. This book depicts a little boy who has a light shining on the inside of him where he sees and supplies help, friendship, and love. Everywhere he goes, he lets his little light shine. EB Lewis really captures the song in the illustrations. What would this world be like if we all turned on our lights and let them shine...let them shine...let them shine!
