We are very engaged by the story of a 10 year old boy named August. He was born with numerous facial deformities and he is attending school for the first time ever.
The story is read aloud to us. Some of us have our own copies of the book and we follow along. We stop and discuss all the different themes within the book: kindness, bullying, grief, friendship, concept of normalcy, and perspective.
Sometimes we write about our thoughts and questions in our reading response notebooks.
