Today's challenge was to draw inspiration from a favorite book. Well I'm a HUGE fan of books so it was hard to narrow it down. I would have pages of lists of my "favorite" book. So I decided to pick one of them..The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It's an amazing book , takes place in Nazi Germany about a girl who cannot read but is taught by her foster father to read. She shares this love of books with a Jew who is hidden in their basement. The chalkboard on this represents new words that her father would write on the basement wall. I loved this book!! And as is not always the case, I would recommend the current movie of The Book Thief..it's very good. Happy reading to all!

What a beautiful collage of dp's, Polly! Thank you for the story. I don't know that book, but it looks like you hit it spot on with the little girl and the look on her face, the book and the chalkboard filled with new words to learn~
