Hi Blair ! Thanks for sharing it. I was wondering how I should spend my daughter’s summer holidays. Got the perfect idea and list of books. You have also mentioned my daughter’s favorite book Blueberries for Sal. I still read it to her before her bedtime.
That’s great, Anna! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I’m really glad that you might try some new options. Blueberries for Sal is SUCH a classic!
