I have to offer a rebuttal for the last review I saw entitled "Teaching Self-centeredness". Obviously, our lives did not magically become ok on September 12, 2001. I don't believe that it was this book's intention to imply that. This book provided a much needed message of hope and healing for both children and adults. The book can be used to guide a discussion about the events of September 11th, the loss that was felt, and how our country pulled together for healing and recovery. All Americans were affected in some way that day. This is a wonderful book to use with children. My first graders had very thoughtful, heartfelt responses to this book.

This book does two things...it allows the young child to know what happened on September 11, 2001 and it gives that child comfort in knowing that everything will be all right. This book, is a book worthy of reading aloud to children who question what September 11 is aboutor asks the question of why is there so much news coverage on this particular day...if you are a parent or teacher looking for the right words, then let this book speak for you...it was written by a group of first graders and I appauld them for doing a great job. Although I don't like to bring up the day to young children and wouldn't but when they turn 10 and start asking questions about this day and the events surrounding it then; I think this book is great to answer those questions without too many gory details.

I heard this book read to sixty fifth graders on September 11, 2008. The students in my school were affected by the book and it sparked many conversations. These students were only two or three on that horrible day but after hearing this book and the following discussions, I am sure they will never forget what they learned. A wonderful book to share after any event that changes our lives because we must remember that there is always a day after.

As a mother of a 6 yr old child that was not yet born during this horrific event and a child that already has high anxiety about starting school I did not appreciate that her kindergarten teacher read this book to the class today, Sept.12, 2016. I do not understand a teacher reading a book discussing something so above a young child's head as terrorism and the horrific events that occurred Sept.11. I went up to my daughters lunch and she immediately told me about the book and asked what happened, why it happened, will it happen again, who did it and so on. I can imagine if you have a child with questions or family members affected by this or a parent in the military, police or firefighter and so on this may be a book you may use. But I can say if you or a teacher read this book to a child that was not aware of these events beware of the information they are now receiving and what that may do to them. My daughter did not need this book read to her and therefor it shouldn't have beenI gave it 3 stars because it was in the middle and I thought that would be fair since I am reviewing as a mother who thinks it is a questionable book to be read in a classroom atmosphere without prior parental permission.

This is a great way a more gentle way of introducing what occurred on 9/11. I feel that this is more age appropriate for children who are in primary grades. This book came in perfect condition and I will be purchasing more products from this company in the future.

This book is incredible. I am excited to see that children made this book as a comforting tool for other children. If you have a child that is terrified about the September 11th events, this book is a must. Every time that I feel anxious about the "war on terrorism" I read this book, and it provides me with comfort.

This is an awesome book that does an excellent job in explaining 9/11 to kindergarten students without getting too involved or emotional. Love that it is written by an elementary class.

I am a Kindergarten teacher, and I use this book each year to teach my students about the history of September 11th. It is a way for them to be aware of the events, without it being scary to them. Since first graders are the authors, the text is suitable for children. My students love the fact that first graders drew the pictures and wrote the story. It sends the message that no matter how bad things get, everything will be all right in the end.
