I enjoyed this book and the way it told the story of the Statue of Liberty and it's importance in a way that was easy for children to relate to and understand. This could be used in the classroom to combine Social Studies and Reading. It is important for students to see that historical events and stories can be told in an entertianing way.

Bye, Mis' Lela door Dorothy Carter

Dorothy Carter pens a story which we all can relate too. "Bye, Mis Lela" is a sweet book which follows a little girl who has a special babysitter. The babysitter treats her as if she were her own and she loved going to see Mis Lele. Then, Mis Lela dies and the child has many questions about death and what was happening to her babysitter. A very well written story about coping with death of a special person in a child's life.

Bye, Mis' Lela door Dorothy Carter

This is a heart-warming story of a young girl who always went to Mis'Lela's house when her Momma went to work. One day, Mis'Lela passed away and the young girl did not understand. This story helps children understand the death of someone they know, but it also is a story that a lot of children can relate to if they have to go to someone else's house if one or both of their parents are at work.

Bye, Mis' Lela door Dorothy Carter

A young girl's mother is always working so she leaves her daughter with a sweet older lady named Mis'Lela.

She likes to greet kids while they are on their way to school and the children that live in the block are very respectful. One day, the young girl gets the sad new of Mis'Lela passing away. The young girl keeps Mis'Lela in her heart and when she goes to school and passes by her house she greets her as if she is still there. I though this book was really sweet and sad at the same time. It shows how sometimes you do chose who you view as family.… (meer)
