Review: Different Appearances

Different Appearances by Rebecca Pettiford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked that this book focused on and celebrated the differences between people. It makes it clear that differences can be a good thing and not something to shy away from. There are tips for adults to use when sharing this book. I really enjoyed the page that shows several pictures of kids Brady Brunch style, and then the text prompts the reader to notice the differences among the group of friends.

Review: Zora's Zucchini

Zora's Zucchini by Katherine Pryor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This would be a great book to share with young gardeners. I liked how the family learned different ways to eat zucchini and how Zora figured out ways to deal with all of the extra zucchini!
