About This Lesson
Getting ready to go outside on a chilly day, an African American girl needs to ask her mom for lots of help—from finding her gloves to opening the heavy door. After all this help, she gives her mom a very special "thank you." The lesson plan from Lee & Low Books includes ideas for providing a supportive introduction to the book and preparing children to read the story, suggestions for observing reading behaviors, discussion questions, ELL support, and interdisciplinary activities.
