Arlene, I like Michelle Edwards's book Chicken Man. The text would be too difficult for first- and second- graders, but this age group enjoys a read-aloud of the book. Even young children can appreciate the values exemplified by the main character. The discussion can be tailored to that age group.
I'd be interested to read of others' recommendations.
