The problem that came up recently with Imi is that we all traveled to Costa Rica and had to caution her NOT to pick up every insect, too many poisonous ones there. She was okay & still fascinated. Yes, Be Kind is a good pairing with I Walk With Vanessa. I really loved seeing all those kids!

There are many details to be sure one sees. The Punctuation poetry is really delightful. I think it can be used in part by younger and older students.

I feel it speaks to some issues in every high school, perhaps some more than others, and may help those underserved find a voice.

(Would be nice to pair with Be Kind, which I just read this past week.) I loved the story about your granddaughter falling in love with insects.

I read about Tradition a while ago, and for sure if I was a high school teacher or librarian I would have pre-ordered it immediately after I read about it. It sounds like a great and important book. I loved All-American Boys and this one seems like it is told in a similar way with two perspectives. I am urging my high school in town to buy it and I will try to get to read it at some point. <br />Twig and I Walk With Vanessa are books I will try to get into my school library for sure. A Bunch of Punctuation is new to me and I will check that one out as well.

I truly archive every one for future reference. I'm particularly excited about "A Bunch of Punctuation". With a line up of poets like that, it is going to be amazing. With my experience here in Switzerland teaching English, I hope I can work it in with my lessons...once I get my hands on it. =)Bridget Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185985167366724404noreply@blogger.com
