Oh my, this clip is breathtaking! I will be using it in my high school classroom to illustrate the importance of ALLIES. On another note, how I wish that Coretta Scott King had lived to witness Michelle Robinson Obama embodying her very own version of black beauty, grace and courage... in the First Lady role. Cheers for history! And how road... leads on to road, to paraphrase Frost. With respect for your librarian-at-large work via this blog, EJS

What is Anokaberry Annotated?
Anokaberry posted the Best Books of 2008 for Middle Grade Readers on January 9, 2009. Anokaberry is now Anokaberry Annotated. This new aspect of the blog means an accent, a tone, a personal, distinct voice may surface. This blog continues to present books published in the current year for middle grade readers but will also have editorial comment and attitude. Look for more ordered labeling for the coming year -- most obviously labeling that denotes genre: realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, biography, poetry and verse, folklore/folktale and fantasy. Next January's list will honor books of excellence by genre.
