Hanukkah to life for even the youngest reader
Eva, a would-be writer, sits on her New York City stoop with her
notebook, waiting for something to happen. She has been given a
homework assignment to record goings-on in her Manhattan
neighborhood. Each neighbor who passes offers her useless writing
tips, but it isn't until Eva takes matters into her own hands that
exciting things begin to happen in her neighborhood -- enough to
make a great story!A hilarious sequence of happenings ensues and
Eva learns that you can find inspiration for writing anywhere if
you observe carefully enough.
"Reading is freedom," Hannah's mother tells her. "The thoughts in
books are powerful strong, stronger even than chains," her father
says. When ten-year-old Amanda hears noises in the night, she
sneaks downstairs and discovers her house is a stop on the
Underground Railroad During the brief time that Hannah, a runaway
slave, hides out in Amanda's house, the two girls become fast
friends. Hannah tells Amanda how she intends to be free in EVERY
way--including the freedom that comes from knowing how to read and
write. Risking everything, Amanda impulsively decides to help.
Crackling with suspense, this moving, accessible story says much
about the power of friendship and the power of literacy.
Words. Selig collects them, ones that stir his heart (Mama!) and
ones that make him laugh (giggle). But what to do with so many
luscious words? After helping a poet find the perfect words for his
poem (lozenge, lemon, and licorice), he figures it out: His purpose
is to spread the word to others. And so he begins to sprinkle,
disburse, and broadcast them to people in need.
