Please take the time to read the chapters to your children. I am also reading the chapters aloud to the children in class. We are so excited about this story. Bongo, the crow, is actually making special appearances around our school! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have wishtrees that we will add animals to as we read along in our book. I will let you all know which chapters we read in class on Whatsapp. Please do not read past chapter 9 before we return to school. I really want to take the beautiful journey in reading together!  So far, we have met the following characters; Red, the Oak tree. (the narrator of our story.) We met Bongo, the crow who has a stash of &#8220;special treasures&#8221; inside of one of Red&#8217;s hollows. We met Samar. She is a shy and lovely ten year old girl who is a newcomer with her family to the neighborhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This story is so special and sends a lovely message about friendship and acceptance. Please help your child keep this book in a special place and take great care of it. It is theirs to keep forever. \ud83d\ude42 We will continue reading at chapter 9 on Wednesday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at the illustrations of the characters we have met so far in the story&#8230;..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142540-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"461\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142540-461x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142540-461x1024.jpg 461w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142540-135x300.jpg 135w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142540-768x1705.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142540-692x1536.jpg 692w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142540-scaled.jpg 922w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Here we can see a lovely illustration of Red and Samar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142522-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"572\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142522-2-572x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142522-2-572x1024.jpg 572w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142522-2-167x300.jpg 167w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142522-2-768x1376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142522-2-857x1536.jpg 857w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mehrhok\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/422\/2022\/02\/20220217_142522-2-scaled.jpg 1143w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Here is another beautiful illustration of the characters we have met in &#8220;Wishtree&#8221;
