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.

Kiki's Hats
Kiki is a spunky, grandmotherly woman who knits hats to give away. But the story isn't just about knitting and hats, it's also about the wonderful feeling we get when we give something away, or do something to help another person. That continual giving and helping others is the "pay it forward" gift of Kiki's hats. Written and illustrated by Warren Hanson, this tells the story of a real Kiki, and how gifts make a positive difference in the world.
