![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, of course girls can have short hair – that gender stereotype was debunked. But, some children wondered about the child’s short hair. We have a staunch feminist in the form of a four-year-old girl, and she thought that the child was a girl, for sure. They didn’t know whether the child in the book was a boy or a girl. ![]() When I saw Leaf, a book without words, I knew that I had to hand over the telling of it to the children.Īt first the children were perplexed. We only read the books that you have written and/or illustrated. In Term 3 of this year, we had a Stephen Michael King festival. At Story Time, the children get so involved in the story and we ponder upon so many things that sometimes we meander off the track talking about this and that, and then we come back again, each story is an adventure and a journey. At Circle Time, the children tell us which songs they want to sing, and we sing them. The adults provide the structure, and the children tell us what they want to do, and how they want to do it. We don’t have any pre-set art and craft activities, the children get what they want out of the cupboards. We have such a special playgroup where the children are mostly in charge. The children did such a great job, I thought I would write to you to tell you about it. We “read” your book titled Leaf at the end of Term 3 at our playgroup. ![]()
