I would ask that they write about the things that they are thankful for and why. Once I finished the story I would send the children back to their seats, to start on a new page, about how they feel now. While reading this story I would use my voice to let the students hear the sadness in my voice to emphasize the realness and reality of this story. Next, I would have my students come to the carpet and listen to this story. I would have them write them down and then ask them questions about the things they choose, as a whole group discussion. I would ask my students first before reading this story, what are the things that they are thankful for that they have and are able to do. This is is a very real depiction of our world, it explains to children and adults of all ages the real-world issues that are occurring now.
