I Am Nuclear Fusion!

Beschreibung

Rita is a seven-year-old little girl who has two talented best friends, Emma and Lily, but feels that she doesn't have any special talent-she isn't a star like they are. Though she loves her friends, she wishes she could be the very best at something. Rita begins writing her own story, describing Emma and Lily and their gifts. As she goes through her tale in four different variations, she includes commentary in between, explaining what her teacher is asking her to change about her writing. The lesson that Rita learns is the same throughout: that she will keep trying to become a star by building up atoms through nuclear fusion. By being kind and helping and encouraging others and by not giving up on her own dreams, she is becoming the best version of herself that she can be, and she hopes to shine as she gets older. What's more, Rita is learning how to exercise her own gift: writing. Offering an interactive experience for young readers that can be used to help them develop their own writing journey, this children's story shows how Rita deals with not being a star today.
