The reading is provided here. The materials for the lesson, which include creating a “Kindness Tree,” are available at https://little-peach-pit.com/
The book “Little Peach Pit” by Grace Nava is available at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Little-Peach-Pit-Grace-Nava-ebook/dp/B017Y39TXO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1451882115&sr=8-2&keywords=Grace+Nava, and other bookstores. However, for the lessons the book is not necessary.
“Little Peach Pit is recommended for readers of preschool age through second grade, though younger children would also enjoy it. Children of all ages will learn about how to handle bullying as well as how to use their conscience and work ethic to persevere so they can become what they are meant to be, just like the little peach pit.”
Foreword Review
“Nava does an admirable job of generating sympathy for the protagonist, who just wants to fit in and do his job well. She introduces concepts of prayer and perseverance in an easy, nondenominational manner.”
