Sixth graders need examples to follow—courageous examples. Calls to Courage provides the examples in selections centered around five themes: So Many Things to Learn, Contentment, Courage, In All Thy Ways, and Responsibility. Children will learn with Jakob, who discovered that responsibility was much more than a spelling word; Judith, who learned that maturity doesn't come in the mail; Jack the slave who found the most important thing in the world—and many more.
