What a Nice Story!

My good friend, Luke Abate, shared an awesome book with me.  The book is The Year of the Dog and it was written by Grace Lin.  In the story the main character, Pacy, is celebrating the Chinese New Year.  This year is the "Year of the Dog" and Pacy's mom tells her that means it is a good year for family, friends, and "finding yourself".  Read the book to see how Pacy discovers who she is and why she is so lucky!  This realistic fiction book was so much fun for me to read because it reminded me of one of my "Old Favorites" from my reading life, B is for Betsy by Carolyn Haywood.  If you like stories about friendship and family, then you would enjoy The Year of the Dog.
