Stella by Starlight

We've got four terrific 4th grade girls in our book club, and they were so thoughtful talking about the subjects that came up in Stella's story.  We talked about the KKK (they still exist!?), we talked about how unfair they made it for black people to vote (and discussed how they still find sneaky ways in 2020 to suppress the black vote), we asked if one life is more valuable than another, and the girls asked each other if they thought they'd speak up if they were in that position.  They admitted it would likely be very hard to speak up.  They decided the only wonderful thing about living "back then" was penny candy!

This book was about a girl who is a math genius but also exhibits obsessive-compulsive behaviors.  Because it's the 1930s, many (including her parents) don't think she should pursue her love of math.  Her grandfather is her fiercest advocate and helps her on her journey. We had great discussions about "what girls can do and what boys can do" and how to pay attention when gender bias slips in-- it's tough because it's so built in to our culture in the United States. The girls were also floored that a movie only cost 10 cents in the 1930s!

Our First Book Club... success!

We had a wonderful first-ever meeting of our Mother-Daughter Book Club! We, of course discussed our book Ferdinand-- talking about gender stereotypes, being yourself when everyone else is doing something different, and learning how to be a good ally to LGBT friends and other minority groups.  These girls are ON it and already know so much.  We used the discussion questions in Her Next Chapter. Most importantly, we talked to the girls about how to have a discussion.  We do not need to raise our hands, there are no right or wrong answers, and we want to hear opinions and personal experiences from them! Our book picks for all of 2019 are up under our Book Log section. Next up?   Tua and the Elephant!
