Book Details

Mom's Choice Award
What difference does a name make? We are least grebes. Would you like to be least men or least women or least Costa Ricans or least Americans? It is so derogatory and demeaning. We want to be black grebes or tiny grebes. Do you think those names would be just as bad? We think those merely describe our appearance, whereas least means less worthy than …. What matters to us is our character. That is what should matter to everyone. CHARACTER! Without good character we are nothing. We care for our families, feed our babies, teach them responsibility and how to live on their own. We do no harm to other creatures above water level. THE LEAST GREBES

 

About the Author

Carol Creager

¿Qué diferencia hay en un nombre? Somos los menores zambullidores en inglés. ¿Querías ser los menores hombres o las menores mujeres o los menores costarricenses o los menores americanos? Es tan menospreciable. Queremos ser grebes negros o pequeñitos. ¿Crees que estos nombres serían tan malos? Creemos que solamente describen nuestra aparencia física, pero el menos indica de menos valor que… Lo que nos importa es nuestro carácter. Es lo que debe importar a todos. İCARÁCTER! Sin buen carácter no somos nada. Nosotros cuidamos de nuestras familias, les damos comida a los bebés, les enseñamos la responsabilidad y cómo vivir como adultos. No dañamos otras criaturas sobre el nivel del mar. LOS MENORES ZAMBULLIDORES
