I used "14 Cows for America" to talk about 9/11 with my students. The book deals with a tribe in Africa "symbolically" giving 14 cows, their most prized possessions, to NYC. The first year I read the book the students were able to apply what they learned by doing something for earthquake survivors in Haiti. This last year they helped with the Relay for Life. I felt this gave the students purpose and a way to look outside themselves, many for the first time.
