Luna and Me: The Story of Julia Butterfly Hill by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw

4.0

Once again, I learn through a picture book something I wish I would have learned in school! Why haven't I heard of this woman? This book makes me wonder, however, how true a story has to be to be able to put "true story" on the cover as opposed to "based on a true story". The cover implies this is completely true, but based on what I've done in outside reading, there are a couple of changes or misleading details in this book. Regardless, students will really enjoy this one, and will build a curiosity and interest in this person/event! (I witnessed it today in a classroom of second graders! They were engrossed in the story- full of questions and wanting to know more!) Definitely one I would add to my classroom library.
