From children’s literature educator and children’s book author Megan Dowd Lambert.\n\nThis poignant, funny, and touching essay collection invites readers to consider how they bond with children, other family, friends, and students through shared reading.\n\nDivided into 4 sections organized around themes of parenting, adoption, race, and healing, this 21-essay collection with its joyous and colorful illustrations is perfect gift for parents, grandparents, librarians, educators, and anyone who spends time with children or reading together with others.\n\nThe author's experience as an educator and as a parent in a blended family that includes seven children of various racial backgrounds (four of whom came home through adoption) adds depth and breadth to her expertise about how people read and respond to books.\n\n\"I grew up with a mother who loved to read, and what a sustaining gift that has been to me. If you are holding this book, it’s a good bet that you love to read, too. Read on, and let Megan show you how to make your love for books and your love for the children in your life add up to something special.\"\n--Roger Sutton, Editor Emeritus, The Horn Book, Inc., from Book Bonding's foreword\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1623541514\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1623541514.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lambert, Megan Dowd|Saine, Mia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
