In conjunction with Lerner Publishing Group, Millbrook Press, and Netgalley, I am reviewing a copy of Piece by Piece:
Ernestine Guerrero's family struggled during the Great Depression.
In gratitude for the government food assistance they received in San Antonio, Texas, the Mexican American teen wanted to personally thank President Roosevelt. But how? After viewing the plans for a very difficult woodworking project, she decided to make it herself and send it to the president. Piece by piece, that is exactly what she accomplished. Her clock case remains on display in the Roosevelt Presidential Library to this day.
In this picture book with striking illustrations by Anna Lopez Real, the author tells the inspiring true story of a girl who proved that if you look carefully, treasure can be found in unexpected places.
I give Piece by Piece five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
