We used Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes for Battle of the Books but that was 4th through 6th grade. The parents appreciated the conversations that came out of it because the kids were too young to understand what happened and they hadn’t talked about it much at school. If you are thinking of discussing with younger kids I think the parents should probably know beforehand. Some kids handle those subjects better than others.

Good evening,
I wanted to ask fellow storytime readers whether you have ever broached the topic of 9/11 and/or grief for storytime and whether you would recommend that. Personally, I'm conflicted about it because, on one hand, I assume schools teach about it so most kids probably at least know about it, but on the other hand, there is a large homeschool population where I'm located and I don't want to bring up a topic with the children if their parents don't feel comfortable talking to them about it yet. Any guidance is very much appreciated!
Thank you, Natalie Nowak Bayliss Public Library Pickford Community Library
