All the Flowers in paris by Sarah Jio
Book has many stories inside.
Caroline ran into a truck and is trying to remember who she is and anything else about her life.
She finds letters from Luke to Celine-from the 1940's and she finds one about the Germans putting the star on their flower shop-they are branded as Jewish and nobody wants them in town or in their building.
Caroline is getting a tour of Paris from Victor a man who works at many jobs.
Oma is the child and she's confused as to why she thinks it's her daughter.
Like how the stories all mesh together but otherwise I feel as if I got many stories for the price of one book.
Like this author and have read most of her works I could get my hands on.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

I Am Me: Teen Artists and Writers Speak Out on Being Yourself

Book where each of the teens not only were able to paint the expressions on their face to tell you how they feel there are also words/poems to tell you.

Found the pictures at times pure pain and some pure enjoyment.

I received this review copy from the marketing team and this is my honest opinion.

Bo the Bat by Alma Hammond 

Have spent some time in caves the past month in KY at the Mammoth Cave National park and didn't see any bats but you knew they were there by what they left behind.

Colorful children's rhyming book about bats and why you should not be afraid of them.

They show you many things a bat can do that are cool and how they help get rid of pesty insects before they bite us.

Love the fun fact about bats at the end  Ends with about the author and illustrator.

The waterman a novel of the Chesapeake Bay by Tim  Junkin 

Enjoyed this book about the fishing and boat racing along the bay.

Interesting how they lay the traps and in the race, how to slow the boat down so they don't have to go around the starting point.

Hurricane hits and they go into action...

Lots of parties and get togethers with the teens and older kids in the area.

They figure out who set their traps free and start of a retaliation, jail time, putting up the boat for bond.....

I.T. Geek to Farm Girl Freak by S.A. Molteni

This book starts with a dedication page and acknowledgements.

Lots of struggles for the author as she transitions to farm life.

So many chapters are about the animals they have and the special needs they need at one time or another and how they are able to care for them.

Instances of the animals leaving the farm as well and a nice neighbor who helps round them up.

About the author is included at the end along with her other works.

Fade to Grey by S. A. Molteni

This book is about when the author heads into a beauty shop after getting her hair dyed every month and is tired of it.

The choice she makes and the thought behind it all....
