Yasmin's Hammer

Audience: I would read this book with 4th or 5th grade but it could work for lower grades too.
Appeal: THis book brings to light the hardships that many children around the world face. It may help kids who don't see value in reading or education.
Application: I would read this story with my class as part of a world geography lesson. WHen we talk about India and Bangladesh area we would read this to put a human connection to the are that we are learning about. In the back of the book there are maps that show where the people in the story lived. There is also a glossary and a section on How You Can Help. I would have the students do a web search on the different organizations to see how they were making a difference and maybe we would raise money for one of the organizations through a fundraiser.
