This Caldecott award winner is a fascinating read that invites a young reader into the life of a slave and the role of music in the African American village communities. Based on a true oral story and with delightful illustrations, one is invite, educated and stunned by the reality of times of slavery.
Who doesn't love the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade? Based on a true story, this book explains to students the history of some of the balloons in the parade. This would be a great asset when teaching a lesson on occupations and the hard work that goes into an event.
This is a classic book, but one that deserve to be noted again and again. Perfect for lessons on growing up and the process of sacrificial giving. What a great tool to also teach children the deep love of Christ!!
