Tomas and the Library Lady (Dragonfly Books)
by
This is a book for children a little older than beginners. It’s about a boy in Iowa for the summer who finds his library for the 1st time and experiences the joys of a cool place to read in the summer. His family is a family of seasonal farm workers picking corn for the summer.
The boy develops a nice relationship with the librarian and he teaches her some Spanish words at her request. The boy loves stories and being able to be transported away to another space, all in his head.
This is a great story for anyone who loves libraries and wants to share that joy with a child.
The artwork in the story is interesting using muted colors and using fascinating details in the brush strokes, but it isn’t really my taste. Still, it took talent to do this.

In my school district, the top ten students in the graduating class are honored in a gala. They get to choose an influential educator in their academic history. One young man chose his librarian and I thought it was so beautiful an honor.

She traveled the world and brought back all kinds of neat items to share with us. She also had a huge pink panther stuffed animal that I loved to see every time in the library.
Thanks for sharing with me!
I have a small pink panther stuffed animal! Your librarian sounds amazing. How wonderful to have such great people influence your love of reading.
