Parent Guide > Little Sister
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Little Sister" by Tasha Spillett (Cree).
In "Little Sister," the speaker tells a little sister that she is accepted and encourages her to be herself.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Friendship & Family, Honor & Courage, and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What makes a family?", "What makes a hero?", and "How does a person overcome adversity?"
