I adored this picture book. It has beautiful messages about community, sharing, and gratitude. It‘s the picture book selection for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library‘s 2024 Community Reads program.

rockpools Hi Rachel. This may (or may not) be a silly question ( sorry!) but am I friends with you on DuoLingo? 🇮🇹 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿? I know it‘s a Litsy Rachel but have come back to it after ages and have the memory of a 🐌 3w
DGRachel @rockpools I honestly don‘t know. I quit using Duolingo earlier this year or the end of last year. I may go back to it eventually, but I don‘t even have the app on my phone anymore. 3w
rockpools @DGRachel Thanks for answering weird random questions. It‘s someone who‘s super-active on there at the moment that I‘m trying to track down, so probably not you! Sorry for going hugely off-topic in your feed! 3w
DGRachel @rockpools No need to apologize. I don‘t mind at all. I hope you find the person you are seeking. 3w

Years ago I saw the author of this book on a tv show with his daughter talking about how this idea came to be. I was impressed & wanted to read more about it. They believe that if you give away half of what you have those who have little can have more. It is a good & thought provoking story but the book itself didn‘t impress me as much as the family did when I saw them on tv.

A part of the book that really stood out to me was at the end when they all had a dance party. In younger grades I feel like this is important because who doesn't love a good dance party but it also shows they that its okay to be you in your community.

This book is a thoughtful read that helps children understand the value of being apart of a community and sharing with others. I believe that this book shows how one little act of kindness can go a long way.

4 ⭐This book may be a little long, but the story is heartfelt. It is about a selfish king who wants presents and gifts from everybody. The one present he can‘t have is a quilt from the lady in the mountains. She only makes quilts for people who can‘t afford them. She tells the king give of yourself and I will make you a quilt. The king will not do this. Instead, he punishes the old lady and in turn just punishes himself.

LibrarianRyan This book does have a happy ending and is simply lovely. The illustrations are classic, and so is the story. I see this book being handed down from “maker to “maker as they share the love conjunctions. 6mo

With beautiful illustrations evoking folk art traditions and sensitive storytelling, Babushka tenderly reminds us that nothing is more important during the holiday season than taking the time to show love for one another. This timeless Russian tale will warm your heart and fill you up with the joyful, generous spirit of Christmas. (December 14, 2022)
