I am really late on this one and I apologize, but about a month ago we read a really awesome book for my arts class called "Becoming Naomi Leon" by Pam Munoz Ryan. This book offers a great lesson in accepting yourself and finding your own voice in the world.

The main character in the book, Naomi, has a unique talent that she finds connects her to her estranged father and his heritage. She is a very talented carver and likes to carve soap. So as an art project, we carved bars of soap to tie into the book. This was a unique way to help bring the story to life. This approach would be very useful in the classroom, to allow students to develop a connection to the story.
Until Next Time,
Ms. K
