He is an icon in Africa (and across the world), and it is a great nonfiction text for students. This is a fantastic book about Emmanuel’s resilience over his disability.

I finished a beautiful book, Emmanuel’s Dream: The True Story of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah by Laurie Ann Thompson and Sean Qualls. Ricki: Henry has decided, at age one, that naps are for babies, so my reading list is shorter than I would like it to be. Trent and I did a lot of rereading this week including Santa Goes Everywhere, Fifteen Animals, My Heart is Like a Zoo, and Waddle! Next, I read The Princess in Black by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale which is an exceptional new addition to girl power in early readers. Her way with descriptive language and voice is one of the best in the business. It reconfirmed for me that Kate is a phenomenal author. Next, I read Leroy Ninker Saddles Up by Kate DiCamillo. Since break started, I have finished The Shadow Hero by Gene Luen Yang, a graphic novel that began with a lesser known comic hero called the Green Turtle and turned into quite an awesome adventure. It was an INTENSE book, and it took me a while to finish it however, I am happy that I read it. Kellee: Yay, break!!! I am on day 3, and I have already read a #bookaday! I hope I am able to keep it up! First, I finished The Complete Persepolis by Marjan Satrapi. **Click on any picture/link to view the post** Thursday: Our Last Minute Book Gift Recommendationsįriday: Holiday Blog Hop!
