Sounds like a definite must-read. I love books that twist and turn with life's unexpected meanderings. I own a few Baillett books but haven't had a chance to read them yet. The picture books sound awesome too!

Thanks, for the suggestions, Linda!I'm thinking of doing a book club for "children of the world" - using Deborah Ellis' books and others like it. This Child would be a perfect choice to add to my kids' reading for that - a sort of global awareness that our students sorely need.Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.com
