The reading of the children’s book, The Mouse and the Acorn, and interaction with audience during a Power Point Presentation is designed to illustrate the simplicity of connecting with children and their views on life in encountering simple problem solving tasks. The secondary purpose is to reflect that any child is capable of great things if given the opportunity. Through the short illustrated book the author allows the children to use their imagination and be entertained while recognizing potential dangers and understand that self reliance is obtainable in situations given enough thought and willingness to think outside the box.
