Thanks so much for sharing! Sounds like a wonderful lesson. I
just didn't know if 3rd grade would think it's too young for
them. The message is really great for anyone and everyone but
the book is definitely geared towards younger kids and I wasn't
crazy about the other one that's geared for the older kids.
Thanks again!
