Maggie ~ I'm in search of a children's book that 3 face-to-face librarians haven't been able to locate or even just discover the title. I was wondering if you could assist me in this. I'm sorry for the limited data (could be why they couldn't help), but this is all I know:
1. Children's book
2. Large hardcover (the one we read anyway)
3. About a boy that has a tree that grows in his room or right outside his window.
4. The tree grows money.
5. One page is very dark (black maybe).
Sadly, my memory contains no more. Hopefully you can help. Thanks in advance! :)
Cottonballs and hairspray...my fifth-grade science project. Except yours looks much, much better!
Needless to say, I was way more into reading than I was into science.
Maggie - I'm currently reading James Lee Burke's Tin Roof Blow Down that takes place during and after Katrina. It is fiction, but certainly gives you the feel for the devastation . . .
Cool display! You are so creative.
Ten pecans for great art!
I'd add Anderson Cooper's Dispatches from the Edge to the list of books about Katrina. There is more than Katrina,like wars and famines, but they were needed to build up to just how terrible the effect and cleanup was.
Hi Joy! I'm thinking The Giving Tree off the top of my head, but I also see a crewcut boy with a tree trunk behind him called The Tree. When I get to work tomorrow, I'll investigate. ;)
Hey, thanks Tiffany!
Love it, Diane! I need to do a fiction booklist, too. :)
Thank you ten times, WW100! :)
I totally forgot this book, raidergirl3! Thanks for the reminder.
Maggie did you ever read "Cotton in My Sack?" My sister read it as a child and still loves it. I cannot think of the author at the moment. :-)
Oops I found it. Lois Lenski wrote "Cotton in My Sack".
Today I posted my review of The Old Man and the Boy. Just in the nick of time!
that many books already about Katrina? Wow! is Roy Blount Jr's book funny? His Book of Southern Humor is a classic.
No, I haven't read that book Paul, but I do love me some Lois Lenski! I'll see if I can find it somewhere.
Great Diane! Be sure to Linky-up!
It's bound to have humor, Sage! I haven't read it but I did a promo for it last March for the papers. People in my area had mentioned they weren't going back to NO for Mardi Gras after Katrina, and I thought I might could change their minds. This is what I said, "Roy Blount Jr. will have you whistling tunes as you ramble through his New Orleans with Feet on the Street. Blount visits eight different areas in the city where, “He captures all the wonderful and rich history - culinary, literary, and political - of a city that figured prominently in the lives of Jefferson Davis (who died there), Truman Capote (who was conceived there), and Zora Neale Hurston (who studied voodoo there).""
Sage, there more books than that about the Katrina.
If you want a complete list, I can look for the books for you!
Maggie, any books from the Mississippi point of view? Everything is about New Orleans! Yes, we like to hog the limelight, but Mississippi got hit worse than New Orleans.
Love the cottonball hurricane - how clever! Have you read any of those books?
Maggie come up with something for the Charleston 9 !
