Colorful World

Colorful World by CeCe Winans, Keith Thomas, and Alvin Love III is a beautiful story about being different. This book talks about and shows pictures of children all around the world and how not one of us is exactly the same. No matter what the color of your skin or what you might experience becasue of that we are all special in our own way and that is important. This book can teach you alot about different ethnicities, excepting others and much more. I really enjoyed this book becasue it shows how beautiful it is to be different, and how if you open your mind to different things the possibilites of who you could meet or what you could do are endless.

One Candle

One Candle by Eve Bunting is the story of a family who all gather together to celebrate the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. The grandma recounts stories of the Holocaust and how she marked each day of Hanukkah while inside the camps. The whole family is all so appreciative of what they have now and realize retelling these stories keep them strong as a family. I really enjoyed this book and think that there is so much in it to learn from. It teaches so much history, about different holidays, but most of all how important family is in both the good and bad times. This inspirational story would definitely be a good addition for the children to read because it will teach them to appreciate what they have and how important good friends and family are to have.
