OSOB 22 Begins! The Wild Robot, Chapters 1-5

Welcome to our 8th annual One School One Book.

This story is probably my personal favorite so far. Peter Brown gives us a tale of technology, nature, getting in touch with your wild side, being a parent, being a child, learning to listen, learning to speak, feeling empathy, practicing patience, fighting for those you love, and finding out why sacrifice - the kind that hurts - is so important. The Wild Robot is just...everything.  Sigh. 

I hope you read and listen as a family or with your SJC friends, and it makes these long, cold winter nights a little warmer and sweeter.

Enjoy!  -Mrs. M
