The Half-Full Glass of Water

At times we feel like a half-full glass of water. We regularly deal with the perception of others. Often we are seen as lacking a trait or qualification that questions our capabilities. Yet this does not define who we are and what we can accomplish. This half-full glass of water knows it can do something special but has to push through doubt and the opinions of others by doing its best, never giving up, and believing that WHAT IT CAN DO matters. After the story is an education section that uses the content of the story. The child can look at a list of vocabulary words, math involving fractions (yikes!), words that rhyme to write a verse. The child will understand the concept of a half-full glass versus a half-empty glass, how to say "ask," when to use lie or lay, and learn a fun phrase in another language.
