mandarchy 's review for:
Jabari Jumps
by Gaia Cornwall
Nominated for the 2019 Washington state children's choice award. I think this book will work well later in the year when the youngest students can do some independent writing. The students can discuss what they are or were afraid of trying on the playground or somewhere similar and then write about how they overcame their fears. Another option would be to write advice to a younger student who might be frightened.
I added a star after reading Jabari to most of the school. It was perfect for perseverance month. The students (k - 5) gasped when they saw how far Jabari could see from the top. And they loved the ending. The whole experience of reading it out loud so many times (19+) made me appreciate it more.
