Brian Pinkney is coming to our school today. We have read a few of his books. Cendrillion is one of our favorites. JoJo's Flying Sidekick was a great book. In the story, JoJo learns to belief in herself and she overcomes her fear of the big tree in her front yard. Many people offer her words of encouragement as she prepares to earn her Yellow Belt in Taekwondo. It was a great book. Second Grade Class

I would give it to my Dad for Chemistry because he makes body armor for soldiers and he makes it by putting different powders together in very big machines.
