[Genealib] Family History Picture Book

[Danielle Plumer]

It's not a picture book, but "Becoming Naomi Leon" by Pam Munoz Ryan (author of Esperanza Rising) is a good read; I've also seen positive reviews for "Each Little Bird That Sings" by Deborah Wiles.

A quick browse through Amazon turned up "Nathan of Yesteryear And Michael of Today" by Brian J. Heinz (Author), Joanne H. Friar (Illustrator), but I don't know anything about it.

Dear Friends,

Every year for their February meeting I give out genealogical society a
presentation on the acquisitions of the preceding year.  One year when
it seemed I had mostly new editions of how-to and directory titles, I
added "easy background reading" of upper level children's book.  And
then I started a tradition of reading them story.  I have read them "All
the mamas" by Carol Gandee Shough and "Homeplace" by Anne Shelby, and so
on.

Dumb me forgot to keep my eye out for a new book of this kind in 2006.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks.
