Wow! You put a lot into your reviews. I will be checking you out weekly.
So glad to see you showcasing this amazingly poignant, and important book!!
Hearing Katie speak at the Sacred Heart literacy conference really resonated with me and my habit of relying on old favorites for book selection in the classroom. Your blog is a wonderful resource to keep us current and reflect the complexion of our student body. This book and the accompanying lesson ideas would be a great text for our fifth graders to choose as they study immigration in the United States. I will make sure to share.
