The Leaving Morning

By Angela Johnson

Book Overview

Leaving a place can be long when, days before, you've already said good-bye to everyone you know--your friends, the grocer, your cousins, especially your cousins. Then finally the day comes, and leaving is hard. Words and pictures catch exactly the mixture of excitement and wistfulness that good-bye can mean for young children. Full-color illustrations.

Short Text, But Says So Much

Suitable for 4-8 yrs. More authors, or college Enlish Composition courses should pay attention to this author. Angela Johsnon has a way of expressing mountains of information using few words. She has a rare gift for helping the reader to really identify, on a personal level, with the story.The story is about a moving day for a family. That's it. But, the author tells the story in such a compelling way, that it will surely evoke a dialogue about this, or similar experiences between parents and children.
