The Leaving Morning This picture book was part of Alexis's homework this week. The illustrations and the text give an accurate portrayal of the sadness of moving away from a home and community in which you have deep personal attachments and the excitement of going someplace new.
A Family In Egypt by Olivia Bennett This book is our read aloud for the week keeping with our Egypt theme at Alexis World Traveler. This book is about a little Egyptian boy that lives in a village near Cairo and his father is a camel driver. A wonderful illustration of how Egyptians live.
This week I'm linking up to Read Aloud Thursday and What My Child Is Reading.
Leaving a familiar place can be really heard. One good book about Egypt is Bill and Pete Go Down the Nile
ReplyDeleteOh I'm going to look for that Egypt book. It sounds good!
