Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Anna and Solomon

My latest picture book find... love this one!!
It is a new one- published in May, 2014- and tells the true story of a couple who immigrated from Russia because of the pogroms there.

Why I love this book:
1. True story
2. Very cute/sweet story- happy endings: good
3. Author's note at the end with several pictures of her grandparents, the real Anna and Solomon

I won't give the story line away- it is too much fun.
Great book for the late 1800's.... covers immigration, immigrant life in the US, pogroms, life in Russia under the Czar
