Interesting and I loved the photos.
So interesting! Especially the part about having every character want something even if it’s only a glass of water.
Thank you for this.
Thanks for sharing, Sandra. Excellent points to remember. I do agree with you about the last point, though. I like ambiguity. BTW, my fourteen-year-old read your first Josephine B. book for a Language Arts presentation, and impressed both her teacher and myself with her selection of Josephine’s question: “Who am I?” to explore the broader socio-political themes of the book. She learned a tremendous amount from reading it, and I think found it fascinating to read about a young woman close to her age in such a different time and setting.
You’re welcome, Pam! Your 14-year-old is impressive!!! Wow.
