Three amazing stories!

-

 

Choosing a good book is a big decision. Today I would love to introduce to you these three books I have chosen just by reading the title and after reading them I got fascinated.

 

Your future is bright by Corey Finkle & Shelley Couvillion. It is a book that for sure has to be in a classroom because it talks about the amazing future that is waiting for all of us. It explains different perspectives of life and many professions that could be an incredible option as a career. The vocabulary is totally appropriated for any kind of children, especially for middle school ones. Pictures are inspiring and encourage kids to be optimistic and being focused on their dreams. Each line is like poetry. Amazing book!

 

The beautiful things by Molly Beth Griffin & Matt de la Peña. Traveling with grandma could be more exciting than you can imagine. While reading this book I confirmed how important is to build connections with our loved ones, especially our kids. It is a story about a grandma with a granddaughter traveling to the farmhouse. On their way, she had to find 10 beautiful things on the road. Sometimes the girl was bored but suddenly grandma always tried to convince her to see the beauty of the things out there. After a long trip, they found together beautiful things and have an incredible time together. It is a book that for sure must be at grandpa’s house and it really inspired me because it explains how important is to see things in a different and beautiful way.

 

Last stop on market street by Christian Robinson. It is about a grandma and grandson that go to the market street once a week. The first thing that caught my attention was when the little one told grandma, why we do not have a car? Why going on a bus? she told him: believe me, it is so much exciting to go by bus and I will show it to you. So then, she started showing him the beauty of each moment while they were on the bus. People singing, from different skins colors and people with some conditions like blindness and how to help them. Grandma explains how we can find good things even when some things are not right.

 

As you can see, I chose two books that are related to grandmothers; beauty coincidence because I could remember the incredible memories I had with my Abuela.

The magic behind Poetry.

Time for bed, Written by Mem Fox and Illustrated by Jane Dyer.  It's time for bed, little foal, little foal,  I'll whisper a secret, but don't tell a soul.  I  believe I have read this book more than a hundred times, and every time I read I enjoy it more and more. Time for bed is a picture book perfectly combined with incredible pictures of animals. Each page has beautiful prose, matching the words with each other to create delightful poetry. The book includes important information about animals and how we call animals when they are babies,  reinforcing on kids new vocabulary and new expressions. One of the things that I love about this book is that you can read it or sing it. A perfect book to read for kids, especially at an early age.     Soup for breakfast, Written & Illustrated by Calef Brown.

How I discovered the magic world of reading a book!

-
As you know, I am from Venezuela! A beautiful country located in South America. Sadly, I have to admit that in our country teachers do not motivate you to read or even at home it is not a “must to do thing” before going nite nite. I have never remembered my mom or dad reading me a book before going to bed, or just having a trip to the library. It is just something we are not used to do. I remember my first Sunday in this country with my host family (I was an aupair – Cultural Exchange Program), we went to church in the morning and in the afternoon my host mom told me: Hey Lizeth let’s go to the library. I was like: What? Sunday, library? … Ok! After that day I realized all the time I have been losing in my life without a book. That does not mean I have never read before, well probably yes! That I remember I read 6 books during my first 27 years of life. But I have good news for you, it is never too late to start something you know you better have to do. Today, rather than critici...

Contemporary Realistic Fiction

 Contemporary realistic fiction is one of the most important genres for me because in these books we will find stories based on the reality of their life. Most of the topics in this genre are about immigration, divorce, and many other personal and social concerns. While picking the right books for this post was very mindful because while reading both books, I could identify myself with their stories. Dreamers My name is Celia written by Monica Brown and illustrated by Rafael Lopez. Celia Cruz is the most known Cuban singer. Her melodies are just perfect, I grow up listening to this music and dancing to all her hits. the story behind these pages is the reality of a person that lives in a Hispanic country. Celia used to help her mom by taking care of her siblings and hard work to support her family. We also find a real description of the Cuban main dishes that her family used to make. After years she got married and moved to Mexico, leaving the dictatorship of Fidel Castro. Celia c...
