Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends. I love today’s featured book!
When I was growing up, we lived with my grandmother who had sailed to America when she was a teenager. She told me stories of those early days in New York City and so, when I read OSCAR’S AMERICAN DREAM, it brought back happy memories.
Most of the books I post about are picture books – and occasionally middle grade…but once in a while, a dear friend like Sherry Howard launches a YA and, when that happens, I just have to SING!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SPIRITS AMONG US! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
