Preaching to the Chickens | 
pick#WeRemember Day 16: A picturebook biography of #JohnLewis‘s life. As I noted in my review: “Clearly, a young boy who preaches with such a steadfast heart and a booming voice would eventually grow up to be a Congressman who would continue to fight injustice until the present time.” More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-esT
pickThis is a brief introduction to John Lewis‘s childhood but won‘t be complete without follow up readings on all his work as an adult.
I thought that this book was a good read. There's a lesson with this book and its love and serve the lord. I love how much he cared for the chickens
pickBiography and was written in 2016. This book is about the story of John Lewis. John lewis in this book was a young boy who worked on a farm for his parents. There were two things in the Lewis house work and God. His work on the farm was to take care of the chickens. After going to church, he would preach to the chickens about being good and caring for one other.
pickDay 11 #MarchIntoReading #diversepicturebooks Since I don't have any picture books-diverse or otherwise, I looked at the library & this one was on display as I walked into the children's section. As I just finished March: Book 1 for #MarchinMarch, I learned about a young John Lewis preaching to his chickens & I was more than happy to sit down & read the book. The illustrations are just gorgeous & it gives more detail to the sweet story. 📚👍🐔🐣💜
Revisiting this lovely story. 💜
pickLovely picture book about how as a boy, John Lewis practiced his vocation by preaching to the flock of chickens he tended on the family farm. Watercolor illustrations perfectly complement the story. A worthy pick to #ReadOutsideTheLines
pickThe authors got the idea for this picture book from a scene in Lewis's memoir, March. It is cute, fully developed and offers a glimpse of the Civil Rights leader he would become.
It's time to stop listening to people preaching alternative facts and start supporting people who promote the values we want to promote. #ReadOutsideTheLines
