Description
Eraser by Anna Kang:
This SEL book creates so many possible group discussions within the classroom. Some of which include embracing mistakes, being brave not perfect, traits of a friend, having a growth-mindset, including others, second chances, and more!
Book Synopsis:
Eraser is always cleaning up everyone else’s mistakes. Except for Ruler and Pencil Sharpener, none of the other school supplies seem to appreciate her. They all love how sharp Pencil is and how Tape and Glue help everyone stick together. Eraser wants to create so that she can shine like the others. She decides to give it a try, but it’s not until the rubber meets the road that Eraser begins to understand a whole lot about herself.
Eraser is a delightful new picture book that emboldens readers to embrace mistakes and elevates the eraser to hero status. This engaging book is a MUST add to your regular story time or read-aloud routine with young children. If your goal is to teach kids to be brave not perfect, Eraser is the book for you.
