determined, kind, fast, tough and "the greatest girl who ever was". Like
Rosa Parks, Isabella is a brave activist. Like Marie Curie, Isabella is

Quite the young lady.... when did we all stop wanting to be ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that we KNEW we could and wanted to be???? (think that was called Middle School)... then we seem to settle back into our dreams. Teachers/Parents/other loving family members could use this book and read it daily to their little one, so that when they hit those (not sure of myself or abilities struggles),they know each word by heart and will continue on with the dream. Great choice of Featured Book of the Month.
ReplyDeleteMOM has this book. She liked it so much she that she put one in the children's area at the church. When I say children's area I mean where the books are. The fact is the whole place is the children's area. Now that I think about it the whole place is a dog area too. Wonderfully beautiful book.

ReplyDeleteGoose, your MOM is one smart woman! I like places where the "whole place" is the children's area. It helps us remember to stay young. Any place that's a whole dog area too sounds heavenly to us!
