Prairie Fires - 2018 Pulitzer for Biography.
This is the REAL story about Laura Ingalls Wilder
I read aloud to my 9 yr old The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis which is a Newberry Honor Book. It's both funny & intense and we both enjoyed it. Definitely lots of snuggles at the end during the scarier parts.
New Kid by Jerry Craft (digital graphic novel). Completed 25 Feb 2021. Jordan is convinced by his parents to try Riverdale Academy Day school but as one of only a few minority students, he feels out-of-place. Won the Newbery Medal (2020), Coretta Scott King Book Award for Author (2020) and Kirkus Prize for Young Readers' Literature (2019).
