Picture Book Review: Stacey Speaks Up

 

Stacey Loves Fridays - because it's TacoPizza FryDay in the cafeteria. She's super sad when she realizes that one boy can't afford lunch. He's not allowed to eat. Stacey knows that it's wrong and she does her best to change the rules.
My Thoughts: Wow - this was a great read BUT...it's horrific to think of kids going hungry. 
 I love the Stacey went to the librarian and asked for help. She works hard to get the rule changed; but as an adult it seems unfair that the children are responsible for changing the rules.  I loved it, but I will confess that it made me cry. This is a heartwarming read.

Picture Book Review: Stacey's Extraordinary Words



Stacey loves words - and understanding their meaning. She's excited when her teacher chooses her to be in a local spelling bee. But Stacey is nervous. What if she doesn't win?

I love the idea of that words are comforting and they have power. I love how this turned out and how Stacey persisted. 

Library Recommendation: A must have for you school and public library's collection.
