My Great Aunt Arizona, is a book about Arizona's life and her journey in helping people. This book could be used in a classroom to show how you can help people. This book is recommended for primary students. This book depicts a girl as she goes from childhood to adulthood as she becomes a teacher in a small town and preaches of the places the kids will go. In my future classroom, this book could be used for talking about the lasting impacts a person can have on somebody. I loved this book because it was not only touching, but was easy to relate to. The main character was the narrator's great aunt, who was described as being strong, independent, and wise. She was a teacher who taught generations of kids, encouraging them to travel and explore the world. The illustrations were graceful and appealing, providing the reader with a sense of nostalgia and warmth. The author's use of descriptive words added more interest to the book along with the illustrations which brought the book to life. This would be a great book to read to students because they would be able to discuss how the main character grew as a person, how the time period affected the events in the book, and make predictions on what will happen next. Students can even make deeper connections with this book because of how emotional it is. no reviews | add a review
