Parent Guide > The Little Girl Who Would Not Work

This week in class, we’re reading "The Little Girl Who Would Not Work" by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey.

In the fable "The Little Girl Who Would Not Work," retold by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey, a little girl would rather play than work.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Growing Up and Morality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"What does it mean to be grown up?" and "What is good and how do we know?"

Ways to support your child:
