Painting a Peaceful Picture

When classmates Ella, Cal, and Molly can't agree on what to paint, Leo the paintbrush teaches them about the importance of respecting your peers. Together, the children and Leo learn about considering everyone's ideas, working together, and being fair. Additional features to aid comprehension include a table of contents, a section on using respectful words, a S.T.E.A.M. activity, a phonetic glossary, sources for further research including web sites, an index, and an introduction to the author. It's time to brush up on respect! Take readers on a journey with a lively cast of characters as they learn about respect and why it's important to respect parents, peers, the environment, and more! Engaging sidebars illuminate concepts and promote further discussion, while 'Respectful Talk' sentence starters and STEAM activities encourage students to explore respect in the classroom and at home.
