Shared and Guided Reading

Each night, in the hours between supper and bedtime, the Tear Thief carries her waterproof, silvery sack as she steals the tears of every child who cries. But what does she do with all those tears? This warm, poignant and beautifully illustrated story offers a thought-provoking message and a starting point for sharing children's emotional responses. Written by: Carol Ann Duffy Illustrated by: Nicoletta Ceccoli Grace loves to act out stories. Sometimes she plays the leading part, sometimes she is in a cast of thousands. When her school decides to perform Peter Pan, Grace is longing to play Peter, but her classmates say that Peter was a boy, and besides, he wasn't black... But Grace's Ma and Nana tell her she can be anything she wants if she puts her mind to it. Author: Mary Hoffman Illustrator: Caroline Binch
