The new books I've discussed earlier in the blog were for older audiences. Today I'd like to highlight one aimed at our younger readers, One Green Apple, by Eve Bunting and illustrated by Ted Lewin.
It's Farah's second day in a new school in a new country, and her class is going on a field trip. While she doesn't speak English, the class visit to an orchard is made sweeter by meeting new friends and adding her unique, green apple to the mix.
This picture book is especially interesting for our students as they struggle with language challenges and are often encountering new cultures. They may recognize some of Farah's thoughts as ones they've had themselves.
Eve Bunting has written a lot of other books, check out this website to see titles and information about her.
