I get all the controversy around Thinder Boy, but I think it's about a lot more than having an unusual name.

We just had career day at my school and you've made me think that reading some books like this one may help students see how passions can be turned into a career.

I just loved the small boy's wonder about his place in the world (and the awesome illustrations) and the eventual joy in his connection with his Dad. But other readers could just see it as "different" if they had no knowledge of the culture (and I fully admit mine is surface, at best). Writers and editors do have an enormous responsibility in what they publish, and teachers and librarians in what they share with kids.Ms. Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961883284227010403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-372997639262487422016-06-13T08:58:51.717-05:002016-06-13T08:58:51.717-05:00I spied Hour of the Bees at a library last week. ...I spied Hour of the Bees at a library last week. We were out of town, so I didn't check it out. Your review will have me looking for it at my own library. Thanks for the review!

Yuyi Morales might be my favorite PB illustrator (though it would be hard to choose just one--and thankfully no one is demanding that I do that!) so I have high expectations. Love Chris Barton, love Don Tate, so I'll definitely be ordering this book. Glad to hear it would connect well with a Passion Projects focus.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.com
