Book Suggestions
Here are some more favorites from the summer:
Jabari Tries by Gaia Cornwall
In this follow up to Jabari Jumps, Jabari wants to make an invention that will fly across the back yard. He doesn't think he needs help at first, but when he runs into some problems and is feeling very frustrated he finds his little sister and his dad really help him to feel calm and to make a better invention. Watch for the interesting outfits his sister wears on each page!
From the Desk of Zoe Washington by Janae Marks
When Zoe finds a letter from her dad in her mailbox, she is quite surprised. She is 12 years old and her dad has been in jail her whole life. Now she has the chance to write to him, but what should she say? She and her friend Trevor start investigating the crime that her dad was inprisoned for -- was he really guilty? And she has to do all her writing and investigating without telling her mother who is opposed to Zoe communicating with her day. Excellent realistic fiction.
Have you tried your public library's curbside delivery system yet? Both Brookline and Boston Public Libraries are getting print books out to residents. You request the book online and then when the book arrives, you'll get an email and can go to the library to pick it up. A great way to get off the screens!
