{"product_id":"9780985908805","title":"This Day","description":"At Lincoln Elementary, Ms. Normale rewards a group of science students with a field trip to the coast. Ajwad, Rachel and the others might have thought twice about accepting the honor if they'd known what was to come!\u003cp\u003eFrom the author:\u003cbr\u003eThe seed for \"This Day\" began with concern for bullying of religious minorities. Out of that desire to honor diversity, I discovered a deep vein of similarity running through disparate beliefs and practices, including those flowing outside any religious stream. How did I come upon the likenesses? A group of science students ~ you might call them geeks ~ showed up in my mind and basically told me their story of a field trip gone haywire, and how, at their intersection with disaster, the most unlikely stepped into hero's shoes. Oddly ... the kids' affinity to science expanded into a way to honor \"separation of church and state\" in schools, yet allow for dialoguing amongst all persuasions. (Elemental for a multicultural society, n'est pas?) And how is this effected? Well ... you'd better read the book. Ajwad, Rachel, Li Hua, and Lon don't want me to say more, though if I stay to write another sentence, homeschooling Zanaeda and Ms. Normale surely will!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One World Learning Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50091025694960,"sku":"9780985908805","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985908805","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
