Both my poet husband and I learned a new poem form from this book, sijo. I loved how listening to other people answer changes the thoughts of how another person might respond. Comparing yourself to others is inevitable, but it’s not necessarily bad, as you see in this book where listening to classmates opened minds and perspectives.

Honestly, it's been over a month since I listened to this audiobook and I don't really remember much about it other than it was super cute and it was interesting to listen to the perspective of children as they made a decision about what they would save!
Basically, this was something to listen to at work to drown out all the obnoxious people I work with.

I read through this quickly, but I think it should be read and savored so it sinks into your heart. It's beautiful to see what each child would take and why. Would buy for my shelf.

3.5 A little illustrated collection of poems about what students would save in a fire. Very cute & heartwarming. If you read this make sure to read the authors note.

One of those treasured books that gave me something that hit me differently as an adult then it would for a child. Adored it, though the format took a moment to get into. Would buy it for anyone interested or child adjacent.
