Subject: [CALIBK12] Books about working together


I have a principal that has asked me to compile a list of books with the common theme of "team work" or working together for the good of our students.  The first book she will be starting with is The Dot, by Peter Reynolds.  She is looking for books to inspire her teachers throughout the school year.
 
Please send me any titles that you feel will fit this theme and I will put a list together and share with anybody interested.
 
Thank you so much!
