A Scarf for Keiko was a really nice story. Though I do wish it touched more on what the main character did learn and take away from his friendship with Keiko, it showed a nice perspective. As a reader, especially a child reader, you wonder why would they treat this young girl in a way when they know she is a good person? You can see why the author wrote the book, to show how some people can act in any given situation. A feel as an adult you can use this book to spark conversation within the classroom. Ask the kids how do they feel about the main character, Keiko, and why they think the main character was feeling and acting in the way he was. A scarf for Keiko is a nice conversation starter.

Jenny Patterson Clotie I disagree with you. The story is sad, yes, but I think that children can feel related to the everyday classes. There are always subgroups in a classroom, either because they look different or because they do not share the same things. I think that both kids learn something from the story. Keiko shows the patient that we should have in a friendship, not everything always goes the way you want and Sam shows how important it is for us to cultivate friendship.
