Some time ago, I learned that not every child owns a book. It breaks my heart to hear this, as I love to read and love sharing my love of books to Broxton. We have a great collection of books and it is fun to add more to our ever growing library. We were recently sent a few new ones for us to review and now I get to share them with you.
In one book, Sewing Stories, we get to learn of an artist named Harriet Powers. This book tells us of her birth and her years from a slave to an artist through quilting. Slaves were not taught to read nor write, so they told their stories by sewing. (I did not know that.) This was a very educational story for me to read and I know that many others will enjoy the story and illustrations in this book.
The other book was Space Dog. Broxton read this book for his nightly homework where he had to tell the setting and characters of the book. Reading of Space Dog, Astrocat and Moustronaut made for a great read and it was a cute and funny book of friendship!
