description:   A child is not a vase to be filled, but a fire to be lit. Francois Rabelais   As one of my favorite quotes, I often reflect on this when designing meaningful learning experiences, when teaching complex topics to my students, when mentoring and training other professionals, and really just about any time I’m trying to empower others to lead and be engaged with the world.   Today I reflect on this quote as I consider how to explain to the children of the world what’s happening all around them. How can we explain that we’re at a pivotal point where acceptance and love are facing off with intolerance and fear? How can we tell them that these are times filled with frustration, uncertainty, and anger but that above all, people have a deep desire to try to tip the scales for the good. How can we help them to see that they have a critical role in tipping those scales? My answer: through literature.   Through stories that engage the mind in exploring different perspectives, practicing acceptance, thinking critically, and developing empathy we can change the world.   Books that explore different perspectives. One major issue most would agree is at the crux of current conflict is the inability to see the same issue through more than one lens. We can begin to engage children in this complex skill early through some unique and “outside of the box” books. Duck! Rabbit! By Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrations by Tom Lichtenheld. This story highlights that sometimes there really are two right answers. The Black Book of Colors by Menena Cotton. This book gives children a chance to explore their world in a new way: without sight. With raised ink illustrations this book tells its story through touch. Press Here by Herve Tullet. This interactive book inspires creativity as you follow instructions and explore the pages from a variety of perspectives and angles. It’s Useful to Have a Duck by Isol. Explore the same story from two points of view: the boy and the duck.   Books that teach acceptance and understanding. When we initially notice differences in thinking, beliefs, appearance, and practices, we may feel a sense of fear or uncertainty. Acceptance is moving toward appreciating those differences for what they are while remaining true to your own deeply held beliefs and practices. Zero by Kathryn Otoshi. This story tells the tale of the number Zero, who really doesn’t like being the number zero. It seems much more fun to be the other numbers. Zero tries to change who she is but ultimately…she’s zero. Sometimes accepting others involves first accepting ourselves. A Chair for My Mother by Vera Williams. This classic tale provides a glimpse into the lives of families in poverty, multi-cultural families in particular. HINT: Make sure any multi-cultural books are evaluated for accuracy to ensure that cultural stereotypes are avoided.   Books that teach critical thinking. Being able to think “outside of the box” and to reflect on one’s own thinking is a challenge for most adults, let alone children. We must start laying the foundation and building the muscle for critical thinking early. Not a Box by Antoinette Portis. A box is just a box…unless it’s not a box. This story uses simple line illustrations to demonstrate how something might just be more than it seems. Just How Long Can a Long String Be by Keith Baker. Explore the many uses of a simple string in this tale meant to inspire new ideas.   Books that encourage empathy. While seeing different perspectives is a great start, this new look into humankind should begin to engage us on an emotional level. Now that we see your perspective, how do we feel about it? What will we do about it? How will we help you? This is where seeing a variety of perspectives, learning to be accepting, and engaging in critical thinking combine. The Rumor by Monique Felix. In this tale a rumor starts to build, growing larger and larger as villagers add their embellishments to the tale of the hungry beast spotted in the hills. A vivid story, it warns of the dangers of rumors and inaccuracies and the nature of human storytelling. And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell. This true story of two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo shows us how families can be quite different but still want the same thing. In this case, the two male penguins wanted a baby to care for. With the help of a zookeeper, the penguins nurtured a baby and became a family of three. The Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwig. This story highlights how it feels to be isolated and excluded from activities and what can happen when someone comes along who welcomes you and draws you in.   So next time... If you are unsure about the state of the world and what you can do to help...look no further than the bookshelf and find a little one who could use a story. Let us know what you find!
