myraflor 's review for:
Towers Falling
by Jewell Parker Rhodes
Reading this book re-opened many memories and feelings I have long tucked away. It is strange to think that children today may not know the full story of 9/11, a day that is forever seared into my memory. The author wrote the book skillfully tailored to the older elementary age. The tragedy of the day is introduced slowly (too slowly for my taste) and the character development is weak. I imagine tackling this subject for younger children must have been difficult to make developmentally appropriate. Ms. Rhodes was successful with that. Falling Towers would be a helpful tool for parents and teachers to use when introducing 9/11 to their kiddos.
