Today we read “I am I” by Marie Louise-Fitzpatrick. It is about two boys who discover the power of words. When they start fighting, their words turn into a dragon which destroys the land around them. Once they apologize, the two boys discover how kind words help heal, as flowers begin to grow again. The book is mostly pictures with very few words, so we used our reading power of inferencing. We used the pictures to make inferences about what the two boys were feeling why the land was being destroyed. We decided the author’s message was that we should get along and not fight – a good message for Remembrance Day!
