New for Middle School Trunks: Terrible Things by Eve Bunting! Request a trunk for your class today!
The animals in the clearing were content until the Terrible Things came, capturing all creatures with feathers.
Little Rabbit wondered what was wrong with feathers, but his fellow animals silenced him. "Just mind your own business, Little Rabbit. We don't want them to get mad at us."
In this unique introduction to the Holocaust, Ms. Bunting encourages young children to stand up for what they think is right, without waiting for others to join them.
We also have a new book available to borrow: A Convenient Hatred: The History of Antisemitism by Phyllis Goldstein! We have ten copies available!
To request this or other books, please contact us: info@wsherc.org or 206-744-2201.
A Convenient Hatred chronicles a very particular hatred through powerful stories that allow readers to see themselves in the tarnished mirror of history. It raises important questions about the consequences of our assumptions and beliefs and the ways we, as individuals and as members of a society, make distinctions between "us" and "them," right and wrong, good and evil. These questions are both universal and particular.
