New Books for Children January 22, 2013
Books help us share stories, and this week's featured new release is a stellar example of a story worth sharing.
Fifty Cents and a Dream: Young Booker T. Washington, by Jabari Asim, focuses on Washington as a young man, his thirst for knowledge, and his determination to do whatever it took to gain that knowledge. Award winning illustrator Bryan Collier’s art enhances this inspirational true story and allows children to experience history in a whole new way.
