Some of the recommendations are known & already on the list but as you can guess the Aramaic dictionary son is not familiar to me until now.

Ever since I read The Notebooks of Melanin Sun I've wanted to be Jacqueline Woodson when i grow up. Brown Girl, though, stands out in her work. Its simplicity and honesty are somehow remarkable in ways her other remarkable work wasn't. Thanks for spotlighting it.CS Perryesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03086127005229652995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-11891805232383741652014-12-15T21:34:21.452-06:002014-12-15T21:34:21.452-06:00I've only read The Write Word from this list. ...I've only read The Write Word from this list.
