Connections and Reflections: Stories for Discussion

By Karen Altpeter

When author Karen Altpeter was in school, she constantly felt like she was missing the big picture. Her studying seemed too narrow, like examining the veins on a leaf without ever imagining a tree"much less the forest. Her intention in writing this book is to help kids learn how connections are made to a bigger picture. Connections and Reflections presents twelve thematic photographs and personal essays linked to history, philosophy, art, literature, and poetry. These short, nonfiction stories lead students to discuss and research a wide range of topics and resources.
