I don't like it either but I know without it, many kids would not read at all. I do not miss being the mom of a 13 year old. Adult children are wonderful. It's all worth it.

The audio version is the author reading it - very powerful as well.

Molly is so fortunate to have a mom who reads and is so in tune with what she needs a reader, though she might not realize it right now.

So funny. Since I've taught that age for years, I understand your quiet demeanor. I've had parents sneak in to tell me something, but also being sure their children didn't see! I too wonder about the reading assignments "after" the books. Wouldn't it be nice if they just had to read more than one book? Love that she read and loved Brown Girl Dreaming. That is definitely a plus!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-13249534082387099572015-07-07T05:15:26.725-07:002015-07-07T05:15:26.725-07:00I love that she asked you if you could talk about ...I love that she asked you if you could talk about the book!
