Sparrow Girl by Sara Pennypacker

4.0

This book is a historical fiction tale based on the 1958 '4 pest campaign' in China. It deals with a sensitive subject in a meaningful but child appropriate way. I have enjoyed using this book in my science class to start discussions about why each piece of a food chain is important, and how getting rid of any element has far reaching effects that might be unknown at the time.
