I've been working as an elementary school counselor since I obtained my Master's Degree in Education in 2005. Bibliotherapy has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I have witnessed the healing power of books in childrens' lives. When I first started as a counselor, I was saddled with old dusty curriculums and really freaky social skills books from the 70's and 80's. I've made it my mission to find contemporary books that help to address the many issues that children currently have to deal with. I handpick all of my books and will only post books that I actually use and that truly make a difference in a child's life. Currently, I am writing a bibliotherapy book on adoption that will be illustrated by my birth mother. My sincere hope is that you find the books I review in this blog to be as healing as I have found them to be and they assist you in helping the children in your life.
1. Book Review: Ada Twist Scientist

Author: Andrea Beaty
Illustrator: David Roberts
Interest Level: Ages 5 and Up

From the Book Jacket: Why are there pointy things stuck to a rose? Why are there hairs up inside of your nose? Ada Twist's head is full of questions. Like her classmates Iggy and Rosie, Ada has always been endlessly curious. But when her fact finding missions and elaborate scientific experiments go too far, her frazzled parents banish her to the Thinking Chair. Will all that thinking change Ada'a mind?

Ada Twist, Scientist is the highly anticipated follow-up to the bestselling Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer. With the same spirit of curiosity and perseverance as her classmates, Ada is sure to inspire young readers to pursue their own passions. 




Why It's On My Bookshelf: So excited about this addition to this fabulous series of books. This might be my favorite one. It's all about curiosity, not giving up, and following your passion. I applaud the author for giving us a character of color who is a girl and who loves science! It's also a great reminder for all of us to be supportive when someone has a goal.
