IN FEBRUARY I HAD THE CHANCE TO VISIT TWO OF THE CHILDREN’S PEACE LIBRARIES supported by the Transformational Leadership Center, which is based in Kigali. I met with librarian Tuyizere Jean D’Amour at the Kigali Children’s Peace Library and he explained how the Read Aloud program encourages children to reflect upon the stories they heard with particular kinds of questions. These include “wondering questions” to encourage the children to go beyond the story with deeper reflections.
