It was a treat for our class to have Ms. Walshe come in to read the book Two by Kathryn Otoshi. We used this book to explore 'Yes feelings' and 'No feelings', which is our agreed common language as part of our Healthy Relationships curriculum. Throughout the story, we explored how the characters felt, naming the emotions and categorizing them as 'Yes feelings' or 'No feelings'.
Two is best friends with One. Whenever they'd get the chance, they'd dance! She'd sing and snap. He'd tappity-tap. What a pair they made! At the end of each day, they'd always say, "ONE, TWO, I'll count on you, 'til the end, we'll be best friends." Until Three jumps in between them . . . Suddenly One only wants to play with Three. "ONE, THREE, odds we'll be!" they chant. Two feels left out. But what can she do? Another character-building counting book by award-winning author Kathryn Otoshi, Two is a powerful story of friendship, loss, letting go, and self-discovery.
