My Storied Year by Katie Proctor, Twyla Beth Lambert
5.0
Update 3 years later: read this aloud to my kiddos and we all loved it again.
I've gotten to talk to a lot of authors, and each time I feel like I'm making a new friend. This is the first time I've read a book from someone I know and love and have hugged in person and talked to for hours and hours, before opening their pages. And I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous. What if I didn't love it and it damaged our relationship? Well, not to worry. Here's what I sent Katie when I finished:
"Katie!!! Katie!!!!!!!!!!!
I just finished My Storied Year! I'm wiping tears from my cheeks while smiling so big. I can't wait to give this book to my oldest son, and I can't wait to see it take off for you. What an incredible writer you are, even the author's note had me weeping. I adore you, girl, and I'm so glad to call you friend and that your words are gonna be out there in the world. What a gift."
Dragon will capture your heart, his classmates and teacher will make you laugh and smile and hurt a bit, and I guarantee you'll think of the perfect kid to hand this book to. ❤️
