Without any intention to do so, the last three books I've selected to read all have the word "boy" in the title. The Boy who Went Magic by A. P. Winter The Book of Boy by Catherine Gilbert Murdock The Boy, the Bird, & the Coffin Maker by Matilda Woods This morning I thought to myself, "Hmm. What are the odds? Is that a thing this year?" So I checked my reading "To Do/Done" lists to see if there were more books. I found Ghost Boys by Jewel Parker Rhodes Blue Grass Boy : The Story of Bill Monroe, Father of Bluegrass Music by Barb Rosenstock I suppose 5 titles out of hundreds is probably not a "thing," it's just a curious coincidence. And perhaps a blog post. Happy Wednesday, everyone.
From books to best practice, follow me as the world of libraries and literacy continue to change. What's hot in #kidlit? What resources are available to connect kids with books? What strategies get the most bang for your time and buck? I'll think about it and let you know. Stay tuned...
