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.

Stop This War: American Protest of the Conflict in Vietnam
Written by Margot Fortunato Galt, and part of Lerner's People's History series, this book tells the story of protest against the Vietnam War. Several people from Minnesota are featured in the narrative. For those of us of a 'certain age', this is a very readable summary of our college years. For young readers, it will be a good resource for studying the Vietnam War era.
