Zoe in Wonderland
Zoe in Wonderland | Brenda Woods
6 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Coretta Scott King Honor winner Brenda Woods introduces introverted, daydream-prone Zoe, who’s afraid her real life will never be as exciting as her imaginary one. Zoe Reindeer considers herself “just Zoe”—never measuring up to her too-perfect older sister or her smarty-pants little brother. Truthfully, though, she’d rather just blend in with the plants at the family business, Doc Reindeer’s Exotic Plant Wonderland. She does have one friend, Q, and he’s the best one ever—but he’s moving away, leaving Zoe to fend for herself, and she doesn’t know what she’ll do without him. That is until a tall astronomer from Madagascar comes to the nursery looking for a Baobab tree. His visit starts a ball rolling that makes Zoe long for real adventures, not just imaginary ones—and shows her that perhaps her first real adventure is finally beginning.

Read this to prep for a #weneeddiversebooks talk but I could not tell this was a book about a black girl except for the cover illustration. It's a good story about a girl trying to figure out her life problems but I don't think it fits for my talk. Thoughts?

A refreshing read. Zoe learns that good can come from bad and that being an "imaginer" can be a great accomplishment. Perfect for the 9-12 year old in your life.
