This is what I write about — for you! Peace, P.S. Important books for older readers-- Soldier Mom and Dawn and Dusk remain as timely as ever. They are two stories from both sides of the wars in the Middle East. Soldier Mom is about a young American girl, whose mother is called up from the reserves to go to Iraq. Dawn and Dusk is about a Kurdish Irani boy, hit by American / European chemical weapons. Junebug will be re-printed by Squarefish Books in Spring, 2009. Again good news, but teachers need to push for the other two Junebugs to stay in print as well. It was teachers' comments that achieved the reprint of Starlight Bridge —AM |
