Emilia Understands Equity
by JEFF TUCKER
At School, Emelia doesn’t think she is being treated fair.
It’s test day at Chicorée Elementary and Emelia is stressing over her science and math exams, scared she won't be able to finish either one in the time allowed. Even her big belly breaths aren’t helping her calm down.
Then, during the science test, Emelia couldn’t remember the answer to the last question.
It was like the answer fell right out of her brain.
When she sees that Sammy gets extra time to finish his tests and Cecelia even gets to use a calculator on the math test, Emelia gets SMAD - a tummy-churning mix of SAD and MAD!
The smadder Emelia gets, the more belly breaths she takes to calm down. But when deep breathing doesn't make her feel any better, Emelia has to take a seat in the counselor's office. With the help of a prickly cactus, a lily pad and a blooming flower, Emelia learns that what is fair will not always look equal.
Emelia Understands Equity is a realistic, powerful tale with a timely message about equity in the classroom. Written for children ages 5 to 11, the book also offers lessons for parents, counselors and teachers with tips that are included in the back of the book.
This story will help kids understand that everyone is different, and we shouldn't judge, but instead focus on how we can help ourselves.
Emelia Understands Equity is part of the Chicoree Elementary Stories for Success series, which is great for students in Grades K through 5.
Help your children overcome their social emotional challenges with these books which include:
” As an educator, I see firsthand the importance of children receiving the services and accommodations necessary to be successful in the classroom. This can be a difficult concept for their surrounding classmates, who see it as “unfair.” This book explores the concept of equity using examples relevant to children. I intend to use this book in my classroom to help my students understand that fair does not mean equal. Fair is ensuring that everyone receives what they need in order to be successful and productive. ” - Julie, Educator, Purchaser
