A memorial donation has been made
to the Jennie Woodworth Library in memory of Mrs. Joyce England.
This donation includes four books
added to the collection in our Children’s Room that encourages inclusion and diversity.
Star Fish by LisaFipps - Bullied and shamed her whole life for being fat, twelve-year-old
Ellie finally gains the confidence to stand up for herself, with the help of
some wonderful new allies. -- Ages 10 up.
Eyes that Kiss in the Corners by Joanna Ho - "A young Asian girl notices that her eyes
look different from her peers'. They have big, round eyes and long lashes. She
realizes that her eyes are like her mother's, her grandmother's, and her little
sister's. They have eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea,
crinkle into crescent moons, and are filled with stories of the past and hope
for the future. Drawing from the strength of these powerful women in her life,
she recognizes her own beauty and discovers a path to self-love and
empowerment. This powerful, poetic picture book will resonate with readers of
all ages and is a celebration of diversity."--Provided by publisher. Ages
4-8.
Sadie SprocketBuilds a Rocket by Sue Fliess - "Sadie Sprocket is a girl with a big
dream ... to go to Mars! No one has been to Mars (yet!), so of course, that's
where Sadie sets her sights. She learns everything she can about the planet and
space, then assembles her crew of trusty stuffed animals. Together they build a
rocket and prepare for the historic journey. And then finally ...
blastoff!" -- Amazon.com.
We Belong to Each Other by Liz Marie and Jose Galvan - A lamb named Grace searches longingly for a
family until she finds others like her at White Cottage Farm.
We appreciate James and Brenda
Buchanan for allowing the Jennie Woodworth Library to be a part of their
memorial to Mrs. Joyce England.
