But rather than give it back afterward, Daisy runs home and hides it in her room. Catching sight of the yellow kite one day, black-haired Daisy follows its string to a brown-haired boy named William, who teaches her how to make it dive and zoom. To a spare narrative that requires reading between the lines to catch the emotional nuances, Bentley pairs two pale-skinned children with windblown hair amid dizzyingly vertiginous hills and perspectives that evoke a kite’s sudden, darting dance across the sky. It’s also beautifully illustrated and a nice read, so I would recommend this book.A neighbor’s soaring, swooping fish kite touches off a sharp conflict between desire and conscience in a young girl. Those are definitely emotions toddlers are starting to encounter and I think they can understand how they play out in this story. With the timing of the story it gives you good opportunities to talk with your young audience about how the boy is sad, and then later how the girl feels sad that she hurt her friend.
Then the boy helps her make her own kite. She can tell she’s done something wrong when her new friend won’t play with her. The little boy shares his kite, but the girl takes it. Simple book about sharing submitted by rea2mill on July 16, 2019, 12:20pm This is a good book for talking about sharing with toddlers. REVIEWS & SUMMARIES School Library Journal Review
But she's also in store for another discovery-one of kindness, forgiveness, and friendship.
When a girl steals her friend's beautiful yellow kite, she soon discovers what a big mistake she has made. Sometimes we want a thing so much we can't prevent ourselves from taking it.
