Poppy by Avi is an engaging story about a brave little mouse who challenges the tyrannical owl, Mr. Ocax, to protect her family and friends. Through Poppy’s courageous journey, young readers learn about standing up for what’s right, facing fears, and the strength that comes from believing in oneself. The story encourages bravery, resourcefulness, and loyalty, showing that even the smallest characters can make a big difference.


Our homeschool English program features Poppy as the core text for a three week literature unit. Here are a few examples:


  • Critical Thinking and Ethical Discussions: Through guided discussions, students examine the moral dilemmas Poppy faces and contemplate the implications of leadership and power, both in the animal kingdom and the human world.
  • Science Integration: Poppy's adventure provides a natural segue into lessons on ecosystems, food chains, and the behavior of different animal species. Students engage in research projects about the real animals that inspire the characters, enhancing their understanding of biology and ecology.
  • Creative Writing and Narrative Skills: Inspired by Poppy’s journey, students write their own fictional stories from the perspective of an animal character. 
  • Artistic Exploration: Students create visual art projects related to the story, such as depicting key scenes or designing new cover art for the book.
