The Tiger Rising
Sometimes when I pick a read-aloud for my students I have one student in mind who I hope it touches. I was surprised by who connected to this short sad story. Beatriz is not my class star. She is not a trouble maker or time-taker either. She loved this book and today as I finished it and we spent sometime reflecting on it she surprised me by being the one student who really got that this story isn't really about a tiger. They key word in the title is actually "rising".
This book is the first really sad book I've read to my class this year, but as I finished I felt an overwhelming appreciation for how important sad endings are to my kids. Many of them have lives shaped already by loss. There were a few days last month when Beatriz wore the same clothes several days in a row and I knew things were not right at home. So for her a book that affirms sadness as normal would be tremendous.
