Always be a first rate version of yourself...: Bravery

What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Being Brave

As Brave as You is an interesting title. At first I didn't get why it was the title of the book (which is wonderful, by the way) but then I thought about it for a second and it is a great fit. There are so many brave actions in this book. From Genie to Ernie to Grandpop. Great book about what scares us and what happens when we are brave or when someone is brave for us. What other wonderful things can I saw about Jason Reynolds!

Peacemakers

Eagle Song is by Joseph Bruchac who wrote the Navajo Code Talkers book which I really enjoyed. He is an incredibly talented writer and if you want to learn more about REALLY life as a Native American (or at least one POV) then read a Bruchac book instead of one of these.
