Description

Blurb: The homeless man has nothing, not even food. Who will share with him? Those in need are all around us but do we see them or are we too busy looking at what we have & wishing for more? A narrative verse story for children from 4 to 8 that highlights caring & sharing rather than self-seeking. REVIEW: J.R. Poulter has written a thought-provoking story in Rich Man, Poor Man. It is a simple tale with important lessons [for] all ages. Bianca Thorburn, Masters Education - Teacher Librarian, B. Edu. - Secondary. REVIEW: "Rich in storytelling, but richer in message, this beautiful tale teaches us, firstly, to be grateful and never underestimate the ability to empathise with others and, secondly, the empowering, self-esteem building effect involved both in learning a life altering skill and in teaching a skill to another. The illustrations add a heartfelt emotional layer!" Adrienne T. O'Connell, B.A., Grad. Dip. Ed., taught children from indigenous outback to multicultural city classrooms.
