Fenway and Hattie
Our school will be embarking on a special project called One School, One Book, a program in which students at every grade level will be reading and/or listening to the same book. Young and old will be on the edge of their seat to find out about Fenway and Hattie.
Fenway and Hattie is the story of a dog and his Humans, their understandings and misunderstandings. It is a charming tale of true dedication and friendship. Fenway and his favorite Short Human, Hattie, find a way to better relate to each other. Readers will follow along as they both learn to see things from the other’s perspective.
Fenway is a perfectly passionate pooch that finds himself misunderstood by the Humans he lives with. His Humans don’t seem to understand that there are threatening squirrels lurking about and menacing delivery trucks that must be diverted! If only Fenway could get his Humans to understand his point of view. Faithful and persistent, Fenway spends his days protecting, playing, and problem solving on behalf of his Humans. Meanwhile, Fenway’s family is slowly learning to appreciate Fenway’s concerns.
Everyone - students, teachers, support staff, and administrative staff - will be participating, and we all will reap the many benefits. When a whole school reads a book, there’s a lot to talk about! With your help, we can build a community of readers at our school.
Victoria Coe lives with her family on the outskirts of Boston, where she and her dog are always on the lookout for delivery trucks and squirrels. She has written several books and has earned various awards. As lifelong “passionista” when it comes to perspective, Victoria loves to speak about the accessibility of animal stories and how they can lead to broadening a young reader’s worldview.
