This book is about a little girl named Osa that lives on her grandma's coffee farm in Africa. When Osa was small her father went to war and never returned. She became very stubborn and believed no one when they told her father was not coming home. Osa soon made up stories about how her father was a hero and would tell everyone, but never listened to their stories. I can relate to this story because i tend to be stubborn sometimes, one of those i have to see to believe type people. I have also recently lost someone close to me so no wanting to believe they are really gone is easy to do than to deal with it. Some classroom extension ideas is to have the children get into groups and tell stories to each other about what ever but make sure everyone listens and gets their chance to tell their story. Another idea is to have the children make a picture story on paper about their stories they told. no reviews | add a review
