It\u2019s spring book fair week, and as always, we \u201cunveiled\u201d our summer reading selections for each level. This is the book the students read to initiate discussion when they return to school in September \u2013 a common read for their new communities. <\/p>\n

The summer books are:<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s House <\/strong><\/p>\n

Very Good Hats by Emma Straub<\/p>\n

As soon as I read this new picture book, with its fabulous illustrations by Blanca Gomez, I thought \u2013 here\u2019s the Children\u2019s House summer book. I could picture kids making inventive hats or doing hat-related artwork. I\u2019m not creative enough to come up with the actual projects, but the Children\u2019s House teachers are!<\/p>\n

Mama Shamsi at the Bazaar by By Mojdeh Hassani and Samira Iravani<\/p>\n

Next year is a \u201cWorld Cultures\u201d year at Inly so this book jumped out as a possible summer book right away. It centers on Samira, a young girl, and her grandmother who are on their way to a busy market in Tehran. Based on Hassani\u2019s memories of growing up in Iran, the child in the novel hides under her grandmother\u2019s chador when the bazaar feels overwhelming. \u201cYou\u2019ll use your eyes and your ears, even your nose too, to explore this world and learn what\u2019s around you,\u201d Mama Shamsi tells Samira.<\/p>\n

Fibbed by Elizabeth Agyemang<\/p>\n

A new graphic novel about a young girl who goes to the Ghanian village where her mother grew up and learns Ghanian folktales. Kirkus describes Fibbed <\/em>as \u201cthoughtful metafiction with an unshakeable cultural richness.\u201d <\/p>\n

Middle School <\/strong><\/p>\n

A First Time for Everything by Dan Santat<\/p>\n

Santat\u2019s graphic memoir perfectly captures that time in our lives when there are so many\u201dfirsts.\u201d During his class trip to Europe, Dan experiences new foods, new friends \u2013 a first kiss. I remember my gateway food: Brie. The first time I tasted it, a whole new world opened up to me. I decided to try artichokes, travel, move to a big city! Santat\u2019s memoir conveys the awkwardness and excitement of adolescence when everything seems to be changing at the same time. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m currently reading two books:<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019m reading Turtles of the Midnight Moon by Maria Jose Fitzgerald <\/strong>with two fifth grade students. And at home, I\u2019m reading a book about Paris in the 1920s that\u2019s been sitting on my shelf for an embarrassing number of years: Everybody Was So Young: Gerald and Sara Murphy: A Lost Generation Love Story by Amanda Vail<\/strong>. Our March trip to Paris inspired me to pick it up, and I love it! <\/p>\n
