Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.

Blackberry Stew
This is the most recent story from Hope's family; this one relates events on the day of Grandpa Jack's funeral. This is a very sad day for Hope, but Aunt Poogee helps her to remember past adventures with Grandpa Jack, especially a day spent picking blackberries and enjoying blackberry stew. The yummy sounding recipe is included. This might be shared with children suffering a personal loss.
