You'd Like To Know Why Reading Matters
by Barbara Freedman-De Vito

Is So Important for Children
Why Do We Tell Children to Read? We're always telling
children that books and reading are good for them,

Visiting the Library

Children’s
Author Creates New Family Classics
by Lisa M. Hendey
Author Interview with Mary Quattlebaum, Family Reunion
Abstract: I love the joy of discovering new authors
and sharing them with my children, both of whom
love to read as much as I do. One of my new favorites,
although she’s been writing for years, is Mary
Quattlebaum, author of the beautifully illustrated
Family Reunion (Erdman’s, February 2004, hardcover,
32 pages) and the wonderful Jackson Jones chapter
book series. A classic storyteller, Quattlebaum
takes a little “poetic license” in the
beautifully illustrated Family Reunion. Through
the eyes of one young girl, the story of a family’s
reunion at the shore unfolds in fifteen uniquely
styled poems. Watercolor illustrations by Andrea
Shine combine with Quattlebaum’s artful verse
to make this a book your family will treasure together. |
