Read Aloud Video

Book Introduction: This is a non-fiction book that comes from an award-winning photographer asking 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students “What is the best part of you?” The illustrations are beautiful black and white pictures with the text written by the students themselves. These students describe in their own words and way what they believe is the best part of themselves. While I read, I want you to think about what is the best part of you!

Writing about Reading & STEAM Activity: Using the examples from the story as a guide, pick the best part of you and write about why it is the best part of you. After writing, show the best part of you by drawing it, taking a picture of it, or creating it some other way.
