I like the concept of the book and the variety of the students' answers. I do think it would be easier for more kids to follow if there were names more clearly marked by each character's poem/speech.

This book was recommended in a weekly library email and it sounded really interesting. I’ve read lots of kids books and went into it with an open mind, but it just felt underwhelming. The verse style - based on sijo, traditional Korean poetry - was not my favorite.
I felt some glimpses of personalities and a story, but it just didn’t quite make it over the finish line for me.

So much in such a little book. Yes, I cried!! So much to think about, so much to talk about about and yes write about.

Such a neat question. Lots of good discussion here. Makes you think about what's truly important. I loved to see the different thought processes for the kids about what is useful or meaningful to their lives.

A teacher gives her students an assignment: if there were a fire, what one thing would you save? (Family and pets are already safe). The students must think about their answer and then have a discussion in class.
It’s nice to hear the conversation that ensues. After completing it, the notes indicate the book is written in verse commonly used in Korean poetry.
