Time to share on Wednesdays with Alyson Beecher's Non-Fiction Picture Book Challenge at her blog, Kidlit Frenzy.
Thanks Alyson! Tweet - #NFPB15
It's a special day today. I get to celebrate nonfiction picture books I love, and a couple of birthdays!
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was born on
this day in 1900, the year one set of my grandparents were born. It was
fascinating to read these books and to see what my grandparents saw during
their lifetimes, as well as what Saint-Exupéry saw and did.
And special to share, it is also my granddaughter Imogene’s fourth birthday!
What amazing thing will she see in her lifetime?
The biography by Peter Sis was published last year,
and the book by Bimba Landmann, in 2013. Both are interesting. I reviewed the
Sis book earlier this year, and I just got the other one at my library. Two
years ago was the 70th anniversary of The Little Prince. What
a gift we still have from this fascinating man in love with flying and the
stars!
