When a young couple finds a boy asleep on their porch, their lives take a surprising turn. Unable to speak, the boy, Jacob, can't explain his history. All John and Marta know is that they have been chosen to care for him. #porch #gratefulharvest @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
so-soA couple makes room in their home for a young boy left on their porch with a note saying his family would come get him when they could. It was a bittersweet little story and could have used some more substance.
pickA WAW book award winner, The Boy on the Porch tells the story of a young couple taking care of a boy mysteriously left on their farmhouse porch. Although the book was touching, it felt like it was written more for adults than children. Even so, I can see foster parents and foster children enjoying this slim novel. #audiobook #OverDrive #childrensbook
I always have a collection of #bookmarks, but I'm just as likely to use a post-it on a daily basis. Then when I find important information for future reference or examples to share with my students the post-its end up in pieces. That would include my copy of The Boy on the Porch with lots of figurative language examples.

pickThe Boy on the Porch is not only a fabulous read for children grades 3 and up, but deeply captivating for adults as well. Sharon Creech shows that family isn't always strictly defined, and that everyone has the power to change the world.
