Mini #libraryhaul for #MiddleGradeMarch
Both these books are also my #BlameItonLitsy choices 😊😊
Ali Benjamin's 'The Thing about jellyfish' is at the bottom of pile (unseen) and I have already borrowed 'Extraordinary Birds' by Sandy Stark-McGinnis.
Let's try finish these (along with all the other reads! 😅) before I pick more from my list of #MGLit
pickSet in India, this book teaches about leadership, speaking up, and a touch on how a political system works. I learned about the ghatam drum shown above and listened to the ghatam played on YouTube while I read.

pickSweet bookish story! Civics lessons can feel forced but the setting and perspective worked for me here. Did anyone else do the 'read a book a day' thing as a kid? I totally did.
pickI really like all of Uma Krishnaswami's books that I've read so far & this is no exception. A sweet, funny, & encouraging story.
pickThis is a delightful easy chapter book about Yasmin, who borrows one book every day from Book Uncle's Lending Library. When the city says that Book Uncle must get a permit which he can't afford, Yasmin and her friends embark on a letter-writing and word-of-mouth campaign to get one of the candidates in the upcoming mayoral election to promise to help Book Uncle. Great story about friendship, community, politics, and the love of books.
pickThe political process done right for the younger set with seriously adorable illustrations. Also, all the talk of Indian food is making me hungry. What a fun way to start #ReadingGoals2017. #ownvoices
pickYasmin, growing up in a Tamil family in urban India, is 9 and she's been reading a book a day for over 400 days. If the uneven sidewalks were fixed, she would walk and read at the same time. She gets her books free from a street book cart library, but its existence is threatened. Bring on the grassroots activism! And how to remind politicians to follow through on promises. Adorable early chapter book for ages 7-10 that adults can also enjoy. ❤️
