So many of my students couldn't believe that strangers cared so much about them, both academically and physically. Many students within my classroom face food insecurity, and it was such a gift to take the weight of \"where will I get my next meal?\" off of their shoulders. With full bellies, they were able to focus on their assignments and reach their learning targets.

The world is not black and white, and addressing these grey-area questions helps my students to develop critical thinking and reading skills. \r\n\r\nReading stories—stories about individuals who don't have the opportunity to have a voice or have their stories shared—is the backbone of my classroom. Through this novel, my students are able to see four perspectives of a single event and develop empathy as well as a desire for justice.
