I know that the focus of your linky was for k-2 but I think this book transcends age. I would share this again and again, even with adults. It is very moving and the art work is awe inspiring! Hope you are having a great Monday and get a lot more link ups today!<br />SidneyMs.M from Teachingisagifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482334866440146334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692820425397337922.post-3207878905779507822013-07-08T07:52:44.764-04:002013-07-08T07:52:44.764-04:00What a great post, Sidney!

The author really captures the intensity of the mood and like you said, the importance of the message. I've used Tagxedo, too. I do like that you can change the shapes and other elements with Tagxedo. Definitely fun.
