Reading with Patrick
by Michelle Kuo

Simply put, this is a memoir of an Asian-American woman’s friendship with one student she met during her work with Teach for America in the Arkansas Delta.  From page one however, the reader learns that this book is so much more. Kuo shows how personal relationships and attention to education and writing in particular can lift a soul that otherwise feels hopeless.

This treasure won the 2014 National Book Award, the 2015 Newbery Medal and the 2015 NAACP Image Award.  Woodson takes the reader on an intimate journey through her childhood in South Carolina and New York City where she develops her sense of self as a writer.

Sweet Kindness

This fall we have been talking about kindness -- during our family devotions, at my church moms’ group and at the Tigers Christian Club.  Kindness works. It’s also work! But perhaps with repeated small practices, as with hand-washing, it will get easier and more routine with time.

Serve

How can I help?

With so much need in our community how do you decide where to begin?  Start small. Let the joy of giving fill your heart. Your kids will see that even if they aren’t directly involved, and your influence will foster a spirit of giving in their hearts as well.
