I love when libraries have their little lists on Libby - this little gem is from Queens Public Library‘s Native American Heritage list. I may have downloaded like 10 books. Gonna read them while listening to football games.

Patty Gilbert, a relatively new girl to #SweetValley, loves ballet dancing more than anything. She even ignored Kerry Glenn‘s friendly overtures because Kerry is her only real competition in their advanced class. But when Mme Baril notices something different about Patty, she is scared to go to the doctor & even more scared after her diagnosis that may mean the end of her dancing days! Meanwhile, Jessica schemes to get their class on television!

For younger students but books that help with social emotional regulation are always the best.

Jackie Kennedy with Rudolf Nureyev

There are articles today - decades after their deaths that Jackie and Rudolf had an affair. These are just rumors. We know that he did perform at the White House and knew both Jack and Jackie, and kept a long friendship with Jackie for years.

McCanns book does not even hint at an affair, only a passing friendship filled with adoration on both sides.
I personally find the affair hard to believe.
