Josephine

 

Okay, I have heard of Josephine Baker.  Kind of.  I have heard a lot of buzz about this book and was able to snag it from a local library.  The writing was cool, poetic, great illustrations but....

Honestly...I can't imagine my students ever checking it out.  I guess if they have to do a biography report and they come across it but I can't imagine a student ever coming in and asking "hey, do you have any books about Josephine Baker?".  Maybe a teacher will pick it up and use it as a mentor text.  I just don't know why I would purchase it for my library.  It was well written but I don't see the kid appeal.
