Picture Books discussion

I would like to recommend A Thirst For Home to add to your classroom or library this fall. It was released in 2014 and is fiction based on actual events. It was inspired by my daughter who was adopted from Ethiopia. Shortly after our return I found her drinking from a puddle in our driveway. I am passionate about raising awareness with children here about a world beyond our borders where water doesn't always come out of a faucet. It is a perfect story for second grade readers.

I am thrilled that it has been embraced by teachers and librarians. It inspired a fourth grade class to raise over $700.00 for a well in Uganda.

Please visit my website for more information and teaching materials to accompany the story.
