💖 One curious question opens the door to discovery, kindness, and hope.

 

What does the White House represent? When Michael asks this question in his classroom, conversations with his mom and grandpa and a class trip to Washington, D.C., help him see beyond the famous building. To him, it becomes a symbol of freedom, fairness, courage, and belonging.
