Day the Earth Was Silent

McGuffee, Michael

Who says we can't make a difference? Who says it would be too much trouble or cost too much to try? Not a group of children who have created a new flag that could represent & celebrate the earth. They want to share their flag with all people, but are rebuffed with "Why try?" statements from those in power. Still, the children continue to ask "Why not try?" until they are heard. THE DAY THE EARTH WAS SILENT is a prose poem that lyrically & thoughtfully shows how a symbol can unite & activate individuals, small groups, & large masses. The book lends itself to authentic discussions, writings, art projects, & environmental engagements wherein children see a problem & then reach success, not by simply studying the problem, & not by seeking to solve the problem, but by contributing to a possible solution.

How do you make wishes come true? It helps to have a good neighbor, like Salina, who is always ready to lend a helping hand, always ready to learn something new, & always ready to add a little something special to help make the journey a good one when her friends move on to live their wishes. As her friends, Chloe, Edison, & Laurel, take the first steps toward making their wishes come true, Salina is content to make her own wishes on pennies she tosses into the ocean. The aftermath of a storm returns her pennies & teaches her that she must do more than simply wish & wait. The reader can join in the story by first imagining how Salina will use her pennies, & then wondering where the pennies will take her as she begins her own journey. This is a never-ending story, with a myriad of possibilities, imaginings, dreams, & wishes. PENNY WISHES is a book for sharing in both family & classroom settings. It lends itself to authentic discussions, & has the potential for making early readers want to write about Salina's wishes, & also about their own wishes.
