“She had planned to spend a nice, lazy holiday with the new book her father had given her at Christmas and a box of candy.”
Those sound like FANTASTIC plans for New Year‘s Day, and I feel that “regretful peep” at her book!! But I love the plan to brighten someone‘s New Year, anonymously—with such a wonderful result. ⤵️

“The worst thing that good cold do to evil.was ignore it.“
“I'll tell you what I'm going to do when I'm sixteen, Theodora. I'm going to pay off the mortgage, and buy mother a silk dress, and a piano for the twins. Won't that be elegant? I'll be able to do that 'cause I'm a man. Of course if I was only a girl I couldn't.“
🙄 I definitely rolled my eyes at this. And then the story went on to show just how much a 16-year-old girl can do!! #KindredSpiritsChristmas #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead

This is a story published in 2023 about an eleven-year-old girl named Avery. She feels squished and invisible being surrounded by her six siblings. She helps and takes care of her other siblings when she can. This can be seen in the classroom with students who are in this situation. They feel invisible and may feel overstimulated with all that is expected of them. This is a story to read to help students who feel invisible to feel seen.
pickI really enjoyed reading this book. This book is relatable to students who feel invisible and unheard. This story is geared towards higher grades with students who have more responsibility within their family and community.
