The student poem you shared is touching -- I'm sure you do miss the opportunity to share books like Irene and Charles' with students, although you are making the most of it with your grands!

And what a fun and unifying ending meeting Nikki Grimes. I also like the idea of your granddaughters growing into this book, they definitely will pick up more as they continue to return to it–though it sounds like they've already connected with things there, thanks Linda!

I hope to find this book soon! I wanted to include it in my SEL bookshelf, but then I realized that it was a novel-in-verse and not a picturebook. Perhaps in my SEL Bookshelf for Older Readers (when I get to that in my lifetime), this would definitely be on the top of the list.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-70171932371171331292018-01-12T18:46:41.697-07:002018-01-12T18:46:41.697-07:00I am looking forward to reading this book, but unt...I am looking forward to reading this book, but until I get a copy, I am enjoying the heartfelt reviews.
