‘What Is Right? by Etan Boritzer
How do we know what’s right or wrong? And what should we do when making the right choice isn’t easy?
Children face decisions every day, from how they treat their friends to how they respond when something seems unfair. What Is Right? by Etan Boritzer encourages young readers to explore these questions and begin developing their own understanding of right and wrong.
Rather than simply telling children what to think, this engaging book opens the door to meaningful conversations about choices, values, and everyday ethics. It encourages children to ask questions, consider different points of view, and think about how their decisions affect themselves and others.
Helping Children Think Through Their Choices
Learning to make good decisions takes practice. Through discussions of everyday ethical questions and social issues, What Is Right? helps children explore the difference between right and wrong and consider why our choices matter.
The book offers parents and educators a starting point for discussing important questions such as:
- How can we tell whether something is fair?
- What should we do when we disagree with someone?
- How do our choices affect other people?
- Why is it important to take responsibility for our actions?
- What can we do when we’re unsure about the right thing to do?
These conversations help children practice critical thinking, develop empathy, and become more aware of the values that guide their decisions.
A Valuable Resource for Parents and Educators
What Is Right? is an excellent resource for families, teachers, counselors, and children’s program leaders who want to encourage thoughtful discussions about ethics and social responsibility.
Read it together at home, use it to spark classroom conversations, or introduce it in character education and social-emotional learning programs. By giving children room to ask questions and share their perspectives, adults can help them develop the confidence to think carefully and make responsible choices.
Part of Etan Boritzer’s What Is? series of children’s books about life’s important concepts, What Is Right? helps make challenging topics more approachable for young readers.
Help children build the skills to think for themselves, consider others, and make choices that reflect kindness, fairness, and responsibility.
