In the week of the National Reading Daysis read from the book of Coco this year it is possible! This wonderful book was written by Loes Riphagen. (publishing house Gottmer)
The story is about a young bird flying out. . but Coco still finds that very scary. The story is about courage, perseverance and believing that you can do something yourself! Immediately another piece of recognition for children who sometimes experience this!
In this blog you can see Coco sitting very high in the tree. . Could he get out of there to fly? It is a nice craft to make with the children and then it is of course a nice question whether the bird can fly from that height!
