pickThe author embarks on multiple walks, each taken with different experts in their fields. I've always been fascinated by the relationship between knowledge about a subject and its effect on our attentiveness (or inattentiveness) toward certain details. Or simply the fact that we're too busy to notice these details. 4⭐️
“The cat walked through the world with its whiskers, ears, and paws, and the bird saw A CAT.”
This story would be a great implementation into the classroom for a deeper dive into identity. I also think this book would be a great lesson opener for ideas of what point of view is.
so-soThey All Saw A Cat, written by Brendan Wendell is a 2017 Caldecott Honor award winning book. This book had beautiful images with bright colors that jump off the page. The story had beautiful point of views that open up the reader into the cat‘s setting. Overall the theme of the book of identity resonates with me deeply
I would love to use this book in my classroom to describe that we are all unique and see things in a different light, just like the cat! That does not make one right/wrong, and embrace our differences!
pickThey all saw a cat, by Brendan Wenzel published in 2016, won a Caldecott award in 2017. This book was a great picture book showing the different perspectives of how we see the world. There were lots of different shapes and sizes and colors of characters to show the way that animal “sees“ the world. Not only was there lots of texture and color but the theme flowed beautifully throughout exploring the unique illustration.
You can use this story and relate it to science. You could do how different animals' eyes work, preditor and prey, and also the habitats of the different animals that were mentioned.
