We still don't have Crown here in Singapore (which I feel very bad about), but am sure will get it soonest. I am very curious about the third book of Yamada and Besom - I loved their first two books and really looking forward to finding this one.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-13616201573576824212018-02-28T18:08:31.761-07:002018-02-28T18:08:31.761-07:00I'm eager to read Let the Children March.

Some looked like photos when held up and I tried to find out if there was a special painting technique that was used, but came up empty in my searches so far. I also really appreciated the authors note at the end. I hope it doesn't get lost by many readers. Just all-round fantastic book! I need to pick up What Do You Do With a Chance. That looks very inspiring for all ages.

I love it when a picture book wins for text! I feel like some of the best writing I read each year is in picture books and the writing almost never gets its due! Festival of Colors has the most wonderful cover--I'm going to be on the lookout for it. What to Do with a Chance sounds like a good one for my college classroom. My college students really enjoy the more inspirational picture books, I've found.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-59164425592417507582018-02-26T06:37:44.253-07:002018-02-26T06:37:44.253-07:00I agree, Karen.
