When little Alma is born, Martin’s world is turned upside down. He and his sister, Edita, have to get used to a life full of new joys and chores. They are learning right from wrong, fair from unfair, how to decide, overcome fear, and why there’s no shame in making a mistake. The questions at the end of each chapter help children think about handling different situations and talk about them with parents, friends, or teachers. In addition, the book provides excellent motivational reading material for ethics lessons for grades 1-4. Why read this book? Because!
