A Perfect Father's Day di Eve Bunting
Susie plans a wonderful Father's Day for her dad, graciously allowing him to buy everything, push her on the swings, etc. A sweet look into how children desire to love those around them while also humorously not yet knowing how to do it well.
This is a haunting, age appropriate story to teach the lessons of the Holocaust. When the Terrible Things come for the animals of the forest, no one will speak out for each other, until of course, there is no one left to speak out. The story gives chills.
A heart-wrenching book about a family visiting the site of Japanese internment camp before moving away. The injustice and grief of those forced to live in the Japanese internment camps during World War II is palpable. The illustrations juxtapose black and white depictions of the past with color images of the present.
