Two beautiful stories

These books show us, little and big people alike, how to live. 

I have used The Three Questions as a 'first day of school' book in my classroom for years.  It is a story of a boy seeking to find the best way to live.  It is gentle, sweet, and pointed. 

I Will Make Miracles is filled with beautiful paintings as a child shares with us all the ways he will make the world better.  But at the end, he acknowledges that he must first learn to read and to write.  In my classroom, we write our own pages to this book.  My middle school students make pages filled with poetry and sentimentality.  Good books inspire.
