Thank you again for clarifying the concept of inherent worth. Can you suggest a picture book to help children grasp the idea of inherent worth?
Yes, we have used Eve Bunting’s children’s book, Summer Wheels, among many others. In this story, the Bicycle Man repairs and lends bicycles to neighborhood children. The rule is that all bikes must be returned by 4pm. When one boy disobeys and keeps the bike, two other boys get angry. Eventually, the angry ones see how tenderly the Bicycle Man treats the bike-keeping boy, showing that persons are more important than objects, even bicycles.
