“But that didn't stop George from admiring the language that was all around him.“
I would use this story in a social studies lesson with older grades. It is good to highlight on the dark history but in an enlighten way so students are not hidden from the truth of what happened in America.
pickThis biograph is a true story about George Moses Horton. The story highlights how George was wanting to learn to read, but he was enslaved, therefore he could not. This inspiring story illustrates the struggles that enslaved people had to go through, but they still had determination to admire the things they value. George valued poetry.
I found the poem Henry was reciting to Alex in the V&A, and I'm obsessed with it!
"It rhymes in French." - Henry ?

Have to go with a classic for #WhyInTitle. If it's #NewYearNewBooks for anyone, it's a must-read #poem from a treasured #poet and author. @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickPatrick Gale excels in beautifully understated writing with such kindness and gentleness. My heart broke for Charles through his unpopularity at school and awkwardness in life, whilst still being able to dislike his at times acerbic sharpness and intellectual superiority as he tries to find himself. My heart broke again for his mother as he pushes her away then yearns for her when sent to war. Despite some brutal elements this was a lovely read.
The official resting place of William Wordsworth and his lovely wife Mary Wordsworth.

pickA picture book biography of William Carlos Williams with a focus on his inspiration for writing the poem “The Red Wheelbarrow.” Chuck Groenink‘s muted art beautifully captures early 20th-century life in New Jersey. Perfect for children in elementary school. #kidlit
