Little a and Uncle Thomas (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

I have read all six Little A books, and they are all fun to read. However, Uncle Thomas is a very special Little A adventure book. If you are an African American boy, white boy, or even a pink boy (it doesn't matter) between the ages of nine and fourteen, this is a book just for you. This is a must-read about a young boy and his coming of age. This is a must-read.

Autor

John Chipley, whom the boys fondly have dubbed Mr. Chip, taught in Memphis inner-city schools for over fifteen years. In retirement he offers weekly volunteer sessions that focus on encouraging boys to read. This is a lofty goal, for the boys live in homes and neighborhood environments not structured to develop reading skills or dreams of career advancement. Mr. Chips goal surpasses development of reading ability to encourage the boys to enjoy this privilege. Chipley is formally prepared to teach, for he holds both Bachelor and Master of Education degrees. However, the most memorable aspect of his classroom presence is his heart. He cares deeply about each one of his students and is there for them both now and in the future. Through the persona of Little A, Chipley gives the boys a fictional character with whom they can identify. Little A's life style echoes theirs. While reading this series of books, the boys witness someone they can relate to. Little A is a wonderful fictional character full of wisdom, character, adventure, and confidence.
