[MOSAIC] Theme/author's message

[Kelly Andrews-Babcock]

Perhaps you can help me with a question that has come up with our staff. We
were discussing theme (fiction) and at one grade level author's message came
up as being used interchangeably with theme. In our conversation that
followed some people thought theme was a more global or overarching idea and
the author's message was more specific to the lesson the author was teaching
through the text. But in realizing there can be multiple themes in books,
the confusion continues. I'd love to hear from you more on this topic.
Thanks,
Kelly AB
