It's Always The Kids

Books move me.

It's just a part of who I am.

A large part of what we do for school is books. I read them aloud and the kids listen.

One of the books we're reading right now is called Children of the Dustbowl.

This is a book that moves me to tears.

Page after page.

I'm not sure exactly what about this book bugs me so, but it does. Perhaps it's the way the kids were dismissed as nothing. Perhaps it's the entire situation. Maybe it's the way it's written.

I don't really know.

All I know, is that I'm choked up and teary every few pages.

That's pretty powerful for a children's picture book.
