This week's Star Reader is Ardenn! Congratulations!
Our last Book of the Week was "Voices in the Park", by Anthony Browne.
Our next Book of the Week is "Year of the Jungle", by Suzanne Collins.
"Bestselling author Suzanne Collins has created a deeply moving
autobiographical picture book about a father who must go off to the war
in Vietnam—and the daughter that stays behind.
When young Suzy's
father leaves for Vietnam, she struggles to understand what this means
for her and her family. What is the jungle like? Will her father be
safe? When will he return? The months slip by, marked by the passing of
the familiar holidays and the postcards that her father sends. With each
one, he feels more and more distant, until Suzy isn't sure she'd even
recognize her father anymore.
This heartfelt and accessible
picture book by Suzanne Collins, the bestselling author of the Hunger
Games series, is accompanied by James Proimos's sweet and funny
illustrations. This picture book will speak to any child who has had to
spend time away from a parent." - Scholastic Press
Stay tuned for our next Star Reader and Book of the Week!
