We received so many books that this week I'm blogging here and at Color Online about the wonderful donations we received. Check these out:

The story progresses from Georgia to railroad tracks to Harlem and high-class apartments in New York. Through waves of powerful emotions, innocent errors and devastating betrayals, it all ends back where it began, in the small town of Waycross, Georgia. Years have passed and it’s now 1961. The world is changing, but hasn’t changed enough. And the reader learns where Easter’s wonderful mind and words have led her. It could be tragic, but instead it’s powerfully hopeful, beautiful and moving. And the quote from Zora Neale Hurston on the final page—“God balances the sheet in time”—rings gloriously true in the reader’s mind. Read Sheila's full review at Books Gather.




Closing out with My Friend Maya Loves to Dance by Cheryl Willis Hudson, ilustrated by Eric Velasquez. Let's talk about longevity. Ms Hudson has enjoyed an impressive career. If you don't know her work, you should. Check out Maya. Personally, I have to order a hard copy of Bright Eyes, Brown Skin for my daughter's 25th birthday. She hasn't forgiven me for donating her first childhood copy. :-)
