pick

#CuriousCovers Day 25: #Flowers. Winner of the Jane Addams Children‘s Book Award, the IRA Children‘s Book Award Notable Book, and Society of Illustrators Original Art Exhibition among other accolades, this is a remarkable story of resilience and the capacity of the human spirit (and sunflowers) to thrive amidst darkness and barbed wires, even in “a place where nothing beautiful grows.” My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7YO

BIG READ FUN! The children's book author pick for the Big Read is Amy Lee-Tai. Her book A Place Where Sunflowers Grow is amazing. It's also a dual language book: Japanese and English. She spoke at elementary schools yesterday and was fantastic! This morning she was at the Library where she was once again excellent📖💕.She read her beautiful book that tells a terrible part of our history in this country; Japanese internment camps..my morning💕📖

TheBookHippie The authors mom was in an internment camp. It was fascinating to listen to her. 7y
