Yeees, my friend used a Depeche Mode poster to wrap the book😊 which makes it look even better, imho 😇😋

A short story? novella? about a monk and his back-and-forth feelings about the hangman‘s daughter. A hangman‘s family was reviled by the townspeople, due to the nature of the job. They weren‘t allowed to be buried on consecrated ground, for instance. This book was so much more than I expected. December #BookSpin prompt: Litsy/GoodReads TBR

“My grandpa was a sofer/ A scribe of Torah scrolls. With quill and ink on parchment. He finished rolls and rolls. From right to left the Hebrew flowed Without a single Flaw. And though Grandpa no longer lives His work leaves us in awe.“

I Remember: Poems and Pictures of Heritage is a collection of poems, and as such, it includes various sound patterns commonly found in poetry. Sound patterns in poetry add depth, rhythm, and musicality to the language, enhancing the overall reading experience.

“I Remember: Poems and Pictures of Heritage“ is a children's poetry book edited by Lee Bennett Hopkins. The book features a collection of poems and illustrations that celebrate and explore various aspects of cultural heritage, diversity, and family traditions. It is a tribute to the memories and experiences that people from different backgrounds carry with them throughout their lives.

“Sitting side by side, we embroider
colorful stitches on circles
of soft, dream-filled cloth.“

I think using poetry to dive deeper into everyone's heritage is a great way to teach students that everyone comes from somewhere different and depending on where that may be, it may look different for everyone. The elements of poetry that make it interesting is that you can really look at specifics and utilize the five senses.

This is a collection of poems relating to how beautiful everyone's heritage is and how it is important to celebrate it for everyone. One of the poems I focused on was called La Vista and it is about a young girl whose 'abuelita' comes to visit and they are able to celebrate the importance of what makes them unique.
