{"id":6586523156539,"title":"Violet Shrink","handle":"violet-shrink-1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn this powerful story from Christine Baldacchino, author of Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress, a young girl navigates social anxiety at family gatherings and works with her father to find a solution.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eViolet Shrink doesn’t like parties. Or bashes, or gatherings. Lots of people and lots of noise make Violet’s tummy ache and her hands sweat. She would much rather spend time on her own, watching the birds in her backyard, reading comics or listening to music through her purple headphones. The problem is that the whole Shrink family loves parties with loud music and games and dancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAt cousin Char’s birthday party, Violet hides under a table and imagines she is a shark gliding effortlessly through the water, looking for food. And at Auntie Marlene and Uncle Leli’s anniversary bash, Violet sits alone at the top of the stairs, imagining she is a slithering snake way up in the branches. When Violet learns that the Shrink family reunion is fast approaching, she finally musters up the courage to have a talk with her dad.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn this thoughtful story about understanding and acceptance, Christine Baldacchino’s warm text demonstrates the role imagination often plays for children dealing with anxiety, and the power of a child expressing their feelings to a parent who is there to listen. Carmen Mok’s charming illustrations perfectly capture Violet’s emotions and the vibrancy of her imagination.

But they are friends. When Adrián finds a wounded bird in an abandoned lot in the midst of the city, things begin to change. Taking care of the bird, learning all about it, discovering that it is a falcon, loving it — and accepting what this love means — gives Adrián a chance to show others a glimpse of who he truly is. Santiago has always known that Adrián has a big heart, and his steadfast friendship is also the reason Adrián has a chance to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eillustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.6\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDescribe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIdentify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDescribe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","published_at":"2021-06-10T17:26:46-04:00","created_at":"2021-06-09T12:19:56-04:00","vendor":"Groundwood Books Ltd","type":"","tags":["age range 3 -
