On the Twelfth Day?
My math seems to be funny but I am calling today the twelfth day. For the twelfth day, I bring to you the books that got away...but not for long. These are books I am dying to read and have been on the top of everybody's must read lists. I can't tell you if they are just as good as they claim to be but I can't wait to get my hands on them. Think of these as the wrapped-up gifts, yet to be opened. Happy holidays!
Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans by Kadir Nelson
In this work of nonfiction, a narrator tells the story of his family and how African Americans shaped our country. I have recommended this to several people and it is being praised by everyone who has read it.
Along a Long Road by Frank Viva
This picture book keeps popping up and I saw it at my local bookstore, Skylight Books, last week but didn't pick it up. Darn it! It is said to be "a single, continuous thirty-five-foot-long piece of art using Adobe Illustrator." Very cool. Must check it out.
Red Sled by Lita Judge
I wish I would have read this nearly-wordless book earlier because it seems like a perfect winter book to be wrapped up and placed under the tree for a little one. Alas, my time was limited. In this book, a child places her sled against her house and goes inside. Some sneaky wildlife then snatch the sled and take their own joy ride while she sleeps. Apparently the only words are the onomatopoeia. Grab this one for the new year!
