Can People Count on Me?
A Book about Responsibility
From the Series Show Your Character
What should you do if you accidentally break a vase? Should you tell an adult or pretend it wasn’t you? Or what should you do if you see your friend throw a piece of trash on the ground?
It’s not always fun or easy to do the right thing. But when you take responsibility, you earn respect from others. This book offers examples of situations you might face at home or at school. It shows how you can make good decisions in each case. See how responsibility can go a long way!

Reviews
School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
“Real-life topics, ranging from the specific (‘How can I make sure I don’t forget my band instrument?‘) to the general (’Why does everyone need a turn?’), are presented in a clear question-and-answer format that is instructive but not overly didactic. . . . A solid series dealing with important subjects for modern kids.” —School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
Natasha Phillips
“The informative text and full-color photos of kids navigating difficult life situations are great for teaching social skills. Educators can point to the children’s expressions in the photos and ask their students to identify what each child might be feeling. What a wonderful resource for teaching empathy!” –Natasha Phillips, MA, special education teacher and consultant for the Show Your Character series
