Banner in the Sky

 

Rudi decided to save Saxo instead of climbing to the top of the Citadel. Why do you think he did that?

Evy (11): "Because it was more important to him. Between saving someone's life and reaching the top. If he did reach the top, he would always think that he didn't save Saxo. He would feel bad." :

Daniel (9): "Because he didn't want to leave him behind and people would be sad if he died." 

Michael (9): "Because people matter more than challenges."

Mom's Notes: While Evy was playing "Library" one Sunday, Jonny "checked out" this book from off her shelves. That inspired a reread! Evy was a toddler when he read it to Julia and Gabe. It was so fun to snuggle up in our bedroom in the evenings and hear Jonny read this aloud to Evy and the buddies. They were all heavily invested in the story, brought it up often, and always begged him to read more. I'll go ahead and recycle the question I asked Julia and Gabe back in 2015. They were 8 and 6 years old!
