Ellen Schwartz (British Columbia), Roy Henry Vickers (British Columbia)
In Ellen Schwartz’s Heart of a Champion, a young boy who’s nuts about baseball finds a way to keep his family’s spirits up amid the inhumane conditions of a Japanese Canadian internment camp. When children mistreat a crow in Roy Henry Vickers’ Peace Dancer, the Chief of the Heavens brings down a ferocious storm, forcing people to abandon their homes. Only once the waters recede do the villagers see that they’ve failed to teach their children the importance of respect for all creatures. Sometimes, when worlds are upside down, we have a chance to learn how to be better people.
Suitable for Grades 4-7
