The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963

We will be at Mary Jo's house in February (on the 16th), and Pam will lead the discussion. This book is by Christopher Paul Curtis who wrote Elijah of Buxton, which was one of our favorite picks last year. The Watsons is a wonderful book for 5th grade and up, with a civil rights backdrop. This is a delightfully funny and touching story about the Watson family (from Detroit) and their visit to Alabama.
We have several copies that we've borrowed from schools so just grab a book and get reading!
