Starry River of the Sky (Grace Lin)

interactive reading with preschool aged children.

ReplyDeleteI am not surprised!
DeleteI loved Starry River of the Sky and one day, I'd like to reread it and the other two Grace Lin books that go with it. And I should take a page out of your book and read Out of My Mind, still sitting on the shelf. I can't wait to see what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteI loved the first book--Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. I cannot wait to start this new one. Hope you can fit Out of My Mind in soon. :)
DeleteI have The Bad Seed and still need to read it! Like Lisa, I've loved Rock, Paper, Scissors. Will look for The Whopper!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy The Bad Seed and The Whopper as much as I did.
DeleteI really need to read the Grace Lin book/series you showed! It's in my pile(s)!
ReplyDeleteI know. There are just so many good books and only so much time to read them!
DeleteI've loved all of this Grace Lin series so far, but think I am behind. I need to get to this one.
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to soon! :)
DeleteOoh, I love the idea of an Author spotlight - I have yet to read Grace Lin's novels, although I make use of her Ted Talk in my PD workshops and in my teaching. I just borrowed The Bad Seed from our library and really looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered Grace Lin's books. I have enjoyed them all so far. I have not seen her Ted Talk. I am going to look for it. Thanks for the tip.
DeleteI love giving Grace Lin's series books to emerging readers. They also make great read-alouds.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteSome great books here! I love Grace Lin's mythology/fairy tale series.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of books. I am currently reading Where the Mountain Meets the Moon to my 3rd graders. Out of My Mind is one of my favorite books because it was the first book my son every recommended to me.
ReplyDeleteYour post reminds me that I haven't yet Starry River of the Sky or When the Sea Turned to Silver, despite really enjoying Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. I have enjoyed Grace Lin's Year of the Dog series, though and all Ling and Ting books. Great choice for an author spotlight!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I need to read the Year of the Dog series.
