Number the Stars, and Cilka's Journey: Where to find hope in dark times

from Tales of Our Time

Today is the last of our three-episode collaboration with two classes from the Canadian Independent Micro School, where students share with us some of the most impactful books they've read, and why they could be meaningful to others. This follows a similar format to our regular episodes, but features two books chosen and presented by student groups.  Today we'll close by hearing about Lois Lowry's Number the Stars: "The importance of friendship could untie and bring people together", as explained by Chris, Laurie, Angela. We'll also hear about Heather Morris' Cilka's Journey: "There is always a light at the end of the tunnel", explained to us by Dora, Eva, Olivia.
