This was lovely!! Some of my students totally related to the idea of wanting to read at recess, having a book club and wanting to read EVERY book in the library. Others may have never conceived of such lunacy. LOL I love the illustrations in this one too. I love the friendliness of the librarian. I loved the friendships and learning words from different languages. Overall, 5/5!
I really admire Stacey Abrams too.
Goodreads says:
The companion to the #1 New York Times bestseller and NAACP Image Award winner Stacey's Extraordinary Words, from political leader Stacey Abrams and artist Kitt Thomas.
Stacey's favorite day of the week is Thursday, when the whole class goes to the library and she gets to lose herself in her beloved books.
On one of these special days, Stacey discovers that a new student named Julie has trouble reading in English, so they begin sharing books and stories to practice. Soon, more students start to join them.
Books take the group on magical adventures and reveal other worlds and cultures--but best of all, they bring them together as friends.
This is another inspiring tale, based on a true story from Stacey Abrams's childhood, about the life-changing power of books.
