Copyright: 2013Biography Theme: A person's bravery can change many livesThis story is very impactful and helps restore humanity。 I appreciate how the author and illustrator were able to make the reader feel like they were there in the World Trade Center on 9/11。 I was only 1 years old when the Twin Towers fell and this book helped me truly understand how impactful this was for many people in American that day。 In my future classroom, I will use this book to teach my students about September 11, Copyright: 2013Biography Theme: A person's bravery can change many livesThis story is very impactful and helps restore humanity。 I appreciate how the author and illustrator were able to make the reader feel like they were there in the World Trade Center on 9/11。 I was only 1 years old when the Twin Towers fell and this book helped me truly understand how impactful this was for many people in American that day。 In my future classroom, I will use this book to teach my students about September 11, 2001, but also about the importance of showing bravery and stepping up when things are going wrong。 Thank you Welles Remy Crowther。 。。。more

This is a true story of a man, Welles Crowther, who saved many people when the World Trade Center was attached in New York City on September 11, 2001。 The book explains how he got the red bandanna, what it meant to him and his family, and how he helped save people that day。 Unfortunately, the man in the red bandanna did not survive。 This is a moving story that helps personalize the terror attacks and is appropriate for elementary children as well as older readers。

SummaryThis is the story of a man named Welles, who was considered a hero for saving multiple people after the attack on 9/11。 After his mother could not find where he was after the attacks, she then finds an article in the newspaper about him and is able to identify him through his red bandanna。EvaluationThis book was very touching。 I believe it was so moving to me because it's a real story and it affects thousands and thousands of people。 Even though it deals with such a heavy topic, it is app SummaryThis is the story of a man named Welles, who was considered a hero for saving multiple people after the attack on 9/11。 After his mother could not find where he was after the attacks, she then finds an article in the newspaper about him and is able to identify him through his red bandanna。EvaluationThis book was very touching。 I believe it was so moving to me because it's a real story and it affects thousands and thousands of people。 Even though it deals with such a heavy topic, it is appropriate for any elementary school age because it handles it in such a light way that is easy for children to understand。 Teaching IdeaThe Man in the Red Bandanna is a beneficial book for making connections。 The teacher could discuss how airport security was before 9/11。 Then, she could read the book and discuss how 9/11 changed and affected airport security and other things around us。 Students could write down connections they have to the book or connections about how 9/11 has affected their life, and also write about someone they think is a hero and why。 。。。more
Meredith,
A very touching account of the life of one of the many anonymous heroes of 911。 Welles Crowther now has a name and his acts on that tragic September day are known by many。 I enjoyed learning about Welles, but it was tough to get through the entire book knowing there was no real happy ending。 I recommend it highly, though, if anything to honor Welles。
