Another sweet story of determination for a slightly older set - even adults will enjoy these characters! A warm look at determination and a different culture, not to mention strong females, from a Cuban American author. “Tia Isa Wants a Car” by Meg Medina and Claudio Munoz. If you liked Richard Scarry, you’ll love this! Bright, peppy, and fun with musical language and pictures you can go back to and find things you missed before. “Mini Racer” by Kristy Dempsey and Bridget Strevens-Marzo. When we asked Erskine for her recommendations for 2011, she said: “As a children’s author, I have to focus mostly on books for young people, but for anyone young at heart, these books are universal.” Kathryn Erskine is the author of four children’s books: “The Absolute Value of Mike,” “Mockingbird,” “Quaking,” and “Ibhubesi: The Lion.” Erskine received the National Book Award in 2010 for “Mockingbird” and her book “The Absolute Value of Mike” was voted a “Best Children’s Book of 2011” by BookPage.
