Book cover of Sit by Deborah Ellis

Sit / Deborah Ellis

This little collection of short stories packs a big punch.  Each features a child from a different walk of life facing a difficult situation, and it always begins with the child sitting down.  As each story progresses, the young person will make a decision–sometimes small, sometimes large–that requires him or her to rise.  A good batch of stories for anyone who needs a reminder that standing up for something, even a little, can sometimes make a huge difference.  Ages 9 and up.
