I Forgot My Lunch Money

Children often find themselves tangled in a web of unwarranted worry and fear over misleading information they receive from their peers. School-yard mishaps and uncomfortable social dilemmas can create an uneasy environment for children, especially when adult interaction is lacking. Go through what has the makings for a difficult day with Leigha, a fourth grader who appears to be a little light in the wallet when she forgets her lunch money! Leigha navigates the day, consumed by rumors and misleading information, dreading the showdown at the cash register. Will it be a detention, a writing assignment or worse? This exciting story opens the door for adult/child interaction and discussion in a variety of settings. Colorfully illustrated by Lauren Gulino, this book has a great deal of appeal for use in the classroom, waiting room or the living room. There are even multiple grade level follow-up activities associated with the book.
