My thoughts about the children's literature that I read which hopefully help my K-5 students and parents find a great book

My Jasper June
This is a BEAUTIFUL story about friendship and its power to transform people and situations. It deals with several mature issues, though, so I would probably not recommend it for anyone under 4th grade. Leah and her family are dealing with a tragic loss. Their relationships have suffered. They are "ghosts" going through life but not really living. Enter Jasper, a joyful, bright light that fills Leah's brokenness. "There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." (Leonard Cohen) Jasper needs Leah as well, but in a different way. Can their friendship save them both? (FIC SNY)
