We gave each other a hug!

This book was born out of true Kindergarten trauma- a friendship that was almost ruined over a lost toy!  The story of the lost ring was one of the first ones that was shared with the class when we began to talk about our "Me Stories."  The student began to work on writing it down, and even went to the other child in the story to ask her version of the events and to talk it out as she was writing.  By the end of her book, she had written a classic that the whole class could relate to, and her friendship had been saved!
