Jenny, LACASA's Program Coordinator, finished reading Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner yesterday with many of the elementary school age children. "Stone Fox tells the story of a boy determined to win a dog sled race to save his grandfather's farm. No one has ever beaten Stone Fox, an imposing and silent Native American, but little Willy trains daily for the race with his beloved dog, Searchlight. It seems like Willy might even win the race until heartbreaking tragedy strikes."
All the children were so touched by the book's ending many of them shed a tear or two. They were able to capture and understand the character's emotions during this group reading activity.
We know LACASA Kids will remember this book and will want to share with others.
Do you have any children's books you would like to recommend...let Jenny know. You can send your recommendations to: jmercado@stryckersbay.org.
