LITERACY

We read the story, “What to do with a problem?” by Kobi Yamada to think about what we can do with problems we have identified to do with water cleanliness, protection and access.

(From Amazon)

The same author and illustrator as the #1 nationally best-selling What Do You Do With an Idea? comes a new book to encourage you to look closely at problems and discover the possibilities they can hold.

This is the story of a persistent problem and the child who isn't so sure what to make of it. The longer the problem is avoided, the bigger it seems to get. But when the child finally musters up the courage to face it, the problem turns out to be something quite different than it appeared.
