A teacher wants to encourage her first graders to have compassion for people from other cultures. She is writing and illustrating a story book about fictional children from all of the countries her students are from. Some of the characters come from wealthy countries and own many things. Others come from poor countries, wear cast-offs, and often go hungry. The story ends as one of the poor children dies of starvation, following which the narrator explains that had she not died, her family would have come to the United States, and she would be a member of this very classroom. The teacher believes this story will effectively portray the concept of compassion and the importance of taking care of one another. Is sharing this book with her students a good idea?
