Libraries across the nation will be reading Ferdinand by Munro Leaf on September 20, 2007.
Recently I along with coworkers read the book aloud. I actually read the book in Spanish! I may not know what all the words mean -- but I can sound them out ok.
I think this is a phenomenal program to have students, parents, libraries and teachers all reading the same book on the same day.
It reminds of a program that I was involved with in Pennsylvania called First Book where the goal was for every child to have a book of their own.
I am very excited about sharing Ferdinand with the children and adults that we serve via the public library. Leaf's message of peace and stopping to smell the flowers is appropriate for all generations in every part of the world.
