" The Line That Learned a Lesson" tells a moral while delightfully
engaging young readers to look at the alphabet in a creative, new
way. The Line is very proud that it is straight and tall and brags
about the things that it can achieve. The Line loves its family and
also finds the alphabet irresistible. It can draw 15 letters, but
finds the other 11 impossible to write. What happens when the Line
tries to relax and bend? Is it better to stay true to oneself or to
change? Using a clever approach, this refreshing tale ends with a
happy solution
Learn how a slave became one of the leading influential African American intellectuals of the late 19th century.
African American educator, author, speaker, and advisor to presidents of the United States, Booker Taliaferro Washington was the leading voice of former slaves and their descendants during the late 1800s. As part of the last generation of leaders born into slavery, Booker believed that blacks could better progress in society through education and entrepreneurship, rather than trying to directly challenge the Jim Crow segregation. After hearing the Emancipation Proclamation and realizing he was free, young Booker decided to make learning his life. He taught himself to read and write, pursued a formal education, and went on to found the Tuskegee Institute--a black school in Alabama--with the goal of building the community's economic strength and pride. The institute still exists and is home to famous alumnae like scientist George Washington Carver.
How would you feel if your daddy went away for a really long time?
Would you miss him? Jana does. She's been having a hard time ever
since her daddy left to go far away to Afghanistan. Whether picking
up her toys, going to a new school, being nice to Jaci or just
having a really bad day, Jana is having a lot of trouble. Life is
hard sometimes, without a daddy around. She misses him a lot.
Sometimes it feels like no one understands. Sometimes she thinks
about her daddy and how much she misses him, especially when she
thinks about the fun stuff they used to do. All of this makes Jana
very sad. Then one day, she receives a letter in the mail Who could
it be from? She isn't sure, but she knows she can't wait to read it
and maybe see that she isn't the only one who misses her daddy.
