Penguin and Pinecone: A Friendship Story by Salina Yoon.

The COVID 19 Pandemic closed many schools.  Many people practiced “social distancing” to keep safe and to stay healthy.  Teachers began teaching online or providing “distant learning” to their students using read aloud books.  These books provided teachable moments and encouraged discussions.

Read Aloud books, such as Penguin and Pinecone:  A Friendship Story, by Salina Yoon, helped kids find ways to show how they cared about someone.

Here’s a reference to one of the pages:   “Penguin and Pinecone may have been apart, but they always stayed in each other’s hearts.”

Reading books during tough times helps kids to feel safe, love, and experience the warmth of hope for better times to come.   

Essential Question: How do you keep in touch with someone you care about?
