Crow Boy was written by Taro Yashima and was a Caldecott Honor Book in 1956.
Crow Boy is one of those books that a teacher can enjoy easily because it champions the underdog. As a youth leader, a teacher, and now an administrator, I have encountered a many Chibi youth - the tiny boy, the outsider, the loner.
Throughout my career with youth, I have often seen that child reaching out to the world as the kids around him reach out to each other. Although a loner, an outsider, Chibi was finally recognized in sixth grade by an adult. This adult took an interest in him and began to build those needed personal assets. Because of this teacher, Mr. Isobe, Chibi was able to spread his wings and soar high above anyone’s expectations.
This is an easy read and one every teacher, male or female, should read. After the read, take a moment to think of the Chibi at your school site or in your class. Is there a chance that you can become the Mr. Isobe for this future Crow Boy?
