I had never heard of the Sears schools. This picture book was as fascinating as it was beautiful.

We are coming full circle to The Johnston Flood by David McCullough that we read a few years ago. #buddyread

Dear Mr. Rosenwald | Carole Weatherford

“This school is the first new thing I ever had to call my own. Im going to stitch me a dress in the sewing classroom. One day, Ill be a teacher like Miss Shaw. Thank you, Mr. Rosenwald. Yours truly, Ovella.“

Dear Mr. Rosenwald by Carole Weatherford published in 2006 was such a touching book about multiple different scenarios but about the same people. It is an empowering story about an African-American community who builds their own school. Based on the true story of the Rosenwald schools built in the rural African-American South in the 1920s, the story talks about a third grader Ovella as her family and community help each other build a new school.

This is an amazing book! It tells the story of the #StatueofLiberty through short text and brightly colored illustrations. Most importantly, it reinforces the idea of the US as a nation that welcomes immigrants. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #PictureBooks #BackgroundKnowledge
