Emily Green’s Garden

Emily Green’s Garden is a beautiful example of a child opening adult’s eyes to curiosity, newness and using their imagination.  The contrast of their very perfect beginnings to letting go creatively saw faces that beamed with an infectious joy and the community bustling on the streets, playing happily.

The Friendship Bracelet

When you take the time to open a book, you never know just what you might get.  It seems like a simple story on friendship but then you’re delighted to discover it is more than that. It’s about middle graders who put others ahead of themselves, it’s about reaching out to the community to give back, and dynamics between people. It’s also about the journey of self and discovering all that you have to give is so much more than you ever imagined.
