SUMMARY:Family Book Club: "Out of My Mind" and "The Boy Who Found His Voice"
DESCRIPTION:Pick up copies of this month's books at the Youth Services desk at the Middendorf-Kredell branch.\n\nA book club for the whole family! Each month\, we will provide one copy of a chapter book suitable for grades 4-6 and one copy of a picture book suitable for grades K-3. Read either or both books at home (we encourage reading them aloud!)\, then join other families at the Library to discuss the books\, do a related activity and craft\, and pick up copies of the next month's books!\n\nThis is a family/group program\; children attending must be accompanied by an adult.\n\nThis month\, we are discussing:\n\nOut of My Mind by Sharon Draper: Eleven-year-old Melody is not like most people. She can't walk. She can't talk. She can't write. All because she has cerebral palsy. But she also has a photographic memory\; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She's the smartest kid in her whole school\, but NO ONE knows it. Most people—her teachers\, her doctors\, her classmates—dismiss her as mentally challenged because she can't tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by her disability. And she's determined to let everyone know it...somehow.\n\nThe Boy Who Found His Voice by Tyler Gordon: A teen activist and artistic prodigy presents this picture book inspired by his own life that follows a boy who has trouble with words until he learns\, with paintbrush in hand\, that finding your voice isn't about being perfect--it's about being true to yourself.
