I went sightseeing today. A great way to get acclimated to a different time zone. (I’m from Maine)
I walked a lot, not realizing just how steep the hills were in San Francisco. Yet, no matter what I saw, from the murals in Coit Tower to Alcatraz island from Pier 39, everything reminded me of a book.
Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko
Angel Island by Russell Freedman
Diego Rivera by Susan Goldman Rubin
Hattie Ever After by Kirby Lawson
Dragonwings by Lawrence Yep.
Regardless of their format, books offer the curious reader so much.

I love this post! It is so YOU. I love how you so quickly connect experiences with wonderful children’s books. You are my very favorite Children’s Librarian. And..yes…those hills are a challenge, aren’t they?
