5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent cross-curricular teaching tool., May 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Make A Joyful Sound (pob) (Hardcover)
A few years ago my neice and nephew received a copy of this book as a Christmas present. Since then, I have purchased several copies for gifts to friends and family members. I have also recommeded acquiring copies of this book to many school librarians, public libraries and parents. As an educator, I cannot stress how valuable a teaching tool this book is. It can be used to teach history, interculturalism, anti-racism, self-pride, reading, writing...
The only thing I would change about this book would be to return some of the poems from the original publication especially "Girls Can Too". Every student I share these poems with reacts favourably, since students are the greatest critics, this is high praise indeed. 5 STARS!
(Maybe in the future books will be published with e-mail addresses of the authors. This will allow the authors to know the impact they are having on their readers.)
