Highly recommend if you enjoy historical fiction. It follows the case of a pack horse librarian and “blue” Kentucky woman in rural Kentucky In the 1930s. Proves the powerful was of books 📚 🖤

I originally read the sequel first because the library didn‘t have this one. Interesting story of the Kentucky Packhorse Librarians during a time of starvation, miscegenation laws, misogyny and all manner of inequality and inequity at every turn. The Blue Fugates were real people suffering from a blood disorder called ‘methemoglobinemia‘. While the disorder wasn‘t healthy, the greater danger was in ignorance and racism as a reaction to it.

“So they kept a world between them, just in case.”

This is a good story that teaches a lesson on resolving conflict.

East Dragon, West Dragon by Robyn Eversole, 2012. Picturebook. This book is about a rivalry between two different dragons. This story is lengthier and better fit for first through third graders. There is conflict and war in this story that brings out the positive aspects of the dragons and their abilities. There are many different colorful dragons in the kingdom.

Cute book! I would use this in my classroom to prevent conflicts from happening because even if things are different it doesn't matter because everything works out in the end.

East Dragon, West Dragon by Robyn Eversole (2012). great rhythm throughout the pages. the muted colors add a sense of calm to the story. There is a rivalry between the two dragons and lots of comparisons throughout. The west dragon goes on a mission to find some friends, but then there is a war, and the west dragon wins.
