Teacher Comments: [2023] Students familiar with a siesta will have more of a background knowledge to understand this story. That being said, students who aren't familiar with it can still learn about how some cultures include la siesta, and then can better understand the story from there. It has a good message about simplicity, kindness, friendship, and learning about life from someone else's perspective.
