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.

On Those Runaway Days
Everyone has a bad day once in a while - maybe it's a bully or other trouble at school, maybe it's trouble at home - and sometimes we just want to run away from it all. In this book for young children, Alison Feigh explains how running away is not the best answer and may only make matters worse. She shows children that talking to an adult who can help them is the first step in feeling better. With illustrations by Laura Logan, and tips for parents, teachers, and other caregivers; this is a helpful resource to share with young children.
