You brought together my sheroes/hero - Berry, Norris, William and made me think how place/geography has influenced my students. They are mostly from small towns or rural Washington. Their world is circumcribed by the borders they have not crossed. But they are amazingly open to discovering new worlds through stories. Books like Sold, Long Way Gone, Touching the Sky make a difference for them. Those are just some of the books students read in my class, A Global View Through Children's Literature. Thanks for reminding me. WOW, Holly. You brought together my sheroes/hero – Berry, Norris, William and made me think how place/geography has influenced my students.
