Talk About It

1. What parallels do you see (if any) between the Great Depression and the present day economy? Is there someone in your neighborhood who could use some extra help?
   
2. Kit's dad tells her that when life throws you an obstacle, you "can't let it beat you." Is there an obstacle currently defeating you? How might you overcome it?
   
3. Kit's dad almost loses his family over his own shame in not being able to bring them good news, but in the end it means so much more that he is present with them than that he can provide for them. Have you ever let a reluctance to reveal something about your situation cause you to become distanced from someone you love? Is there someone you need to simply be there for, regardless of the circumstances?
   
4. Many of the people in Kit's life prejudge others based on their financial status. Does that prejudice exist in your circles? How might you work toward eradicating it?
   

The Family Corner

Kit Kittredge is rated G and is remarkably wholesome. There are a few scenes of mild peril likely to frighten only very sensitive young children.
