[LM_NET] Hit: Picture Book/Chapter Book Pairs

[Gwendolyn Danielle Chouinard <gdchouin@SYR.EDU>]

Hi, Thanks to everybody who gave me suggestions for picture  
book/chapter book pairs on the themes of belonging and diversity for  
our "everybody reads" program next year. Here follows the list of  
titles that people suggested, along with one of my own.

My Name is Yoon by Helen Recorvits c.2003 (Disliking her name as  
written in English, Korean-born Yoon, or "shining wisdom," refers to  
herself as "cat," "bird," and "cupcake," as a way to feel more  
comfortable in her new school and new country.)
and
Molly By Any Other Name by Jean Davies Okimoto, c1990 (A teenage Asian  
girl who has been adopted by non-Asian parents decides to find out who  
her biological parents are.)


The tale of Despereaux : being the story of a mouse, a princess, some
soup, and a spool of thread / Kate DiCamillo ; illustrated by Timothy
Basil Ering.
With--Chester's way / by Kevin Henkes. or any of his other mouse
books.

If each student will get 1 book, you might look into the 2 youth  
versions that have been written based upon Greg Mortenson's 3 CUPS OF  
TEA.

Tolan, Stephanie S. (2002) Surviving the Applewhites. New York: Harper  
Collins.
  with
Hoffman, Mary. (1991) Amazing Grace. Dial Books for Young Readers.
These both have to do with finding a sense of belonging and putting on a play.

Choldenko, Gennifer. (2004) Al Capone Does my Shirts. New York: G.P.  
Putnam Sons.
With the picture book?
Stewart, Sarah. (1997) The Gardener. Farar. Strous. Giroux.
Both of these books take place in the 30's and have to do with family  
relationships.
