In this wonderful book, C. J. and his nana take a bus through the city to go to volunteer at a soup kitchen. At first, C. J. doesn't want to go and he complains about many things. Nana is friendly to everyone and she sees the positive side of things. In the end, C. J. is glad to be where he is.
After reading the book, we determined that the theme of the book is appreciating what we have because that is what Nana teaches C. J. through her words and actions. We also noticed that even though C. J. is just a kid, he was making the world a better place by volunteering at the soup kitchen. Some students then wrote about (or recorded themselves using Flipgrid) how they can make the world a better place. I loved all of our discussions and all of their great ideas!
Happy Reading!
