Palace of Books | Patricia Polacco
1 post | 2 read
From beloved storyteller Patricia Polacco comes a picture book based on her childhood about how a very special librarian and town library made her life happier after moving to a new state in elementary school. When young Patricia’s family moves to Battle Creek, Michigan, she finds it hard to believe this new place will ever feel like home. But soon she meets the kind librarian Mrs. Creavy and discovers the library’s doors are always open. Now, Patricia has a place to explore and study books about the birds that she loves. Mrs. Creavy even introduces her to the books of John James Audubon and helps Patricia introduce her classmates to the joy of birds by becoming the first member of the Audubon Bird Club of Freemont Elementary.

I thought this one was a little too wordy for your average picture book, but the story is heartfelt and beautiful. I appreciated Polacoo‘s willingness to speak about the challenges she faced while learning to read. A lovely testament to the fact that librarians can be influential figures even for those people who struggle with reading.
