Jemmy Button, a young boy who is adventurous decides to set out on a journey with a group of village men who spot him sitting on the tallest tree on the island staring at the stars like he always did. Jemmy decided to take on the adventure with the village men because he was adventurous. However, after some time, Jemmy becomes homesick and decides to travel back home to his island. The adventure allowed Jemmy to be adventurous and explore different parts of the world, and it also allowed him to travel back home. When Jemmy returned home, he was able to tell his family about the destination he explored.

The book's pictures made the background stand out more in every picture rather than the people in the book. This book made you focus more on the places and what was going on in the book. The story starts off dark and then it is lightened up as the boy travels across the sea to the new world and makes discoveries. This would be a good book for children because it is in a way told from a different perspective. Like the places telling the story rather than characters as the main focus.

This book was about the story of a young boy who is given the name Jemmy Button after meeting a some people from England. Jemmy leaves the South American island that he is from to live in England with the new people who want to prove that the South American villagers can be "civilized". When Jemmy arrives in England, he is introduced to upper class life style and he is taught etiquette and customs. The artwork in this book does a great job of showing how foreign everything feels for Jemmy when he first arrives in England. At first everything is drawn very differently from how Jemmy is illustrated. As Jemmy grows more accustomed to the lifestyle in England, his look resembles more of the people and things around him. Eventually, Jemmy begins to long for his homeland and sets back out to return. One of my favorite parts about this book was how it waits to reveal the longer, more detailed, version of the story. At the end, the story reveals that Jemmy Button's name is Orundellico, and he is from the islands of Tierra del Fuego. The person from England that found him was Captain Robert FitzRoy sailing on the HMS Beagle. The fact that this information was presented after we learn about Jemmy's journey allowed me to focus on how Jemmy must have felt with his growing age and changing environments. When Jemmy gets back home, he soon strips all of his clothes to identify more with the villagers. This showed me that although Jemmy left his homeland and spent half his life in England, he still feels closest to where he comes from.½

Jemmy Button was a based on a true story about a boy from South America that was taken in by Captain Fitzroy in 1832. Jemmy Button gets his name because the captain gives his family a pearl button in exchange for him. Jemmy gets an amazing opportunity to see the the developing world he has grown without. He is brought to England and taught proper customs and etiquette. The pictures in the book come alive as the pages turn, saying more than the words on the page. The pages give emotion to how Jemmy felt when he first went to England. Two pages are of people in blue silhouette while Jemmy stands out in a skin color. He feels different than everyone else. He quickly adapts to the new culture and everyone adores him. Soon it is time for Jemmy to go back to his home village where The captain thinks he can use Jemmy as an example and help civilize the villagers. To his surprise as soon as Jemmy realized he was back home he quickly stripped naked and decided to stay like the villagers. You know they say, "You can take the girl out the country but you can't the country out the girl." I loved this book and the illustrations really brought this book to life.

This is the story of Jemmy Button and his voyage from his home to England and back home. In the 1800's, Captain Robert FitzRoy set sail from England to the islands of Tierra del Fuego. This is where he found Orundellico and decided to take him back to England to educate him, they even changed his name. During his time in England, Jemmy learned many things, some things he never knew existed. He fit in well, but he never felt that England was his home. In 1832, Captain Robert FitzRoy returned Jemmy to the island hoping he would share everything he had learned with his people. Charles Darwin was also a part of the journey back to the island. When Jemmy arrived home he quickly relearned his language and understood where he belonged. He quickly realized that the life in England was not for him and he belonged on his island with his people. This book's setting shows the times when voyages would take place to educate and civilize people. Voyagers were trying to spread their culture to others to expand the world. This setting affected the story greatly. When Jemmy is on his island he is sitting in the tree tops looking at the stars, relaxing. When he goes to England, he is lost among groups of people and sticks out as the only red person. The setting changed how Jemmy felt and affected him as a person.

Jemmy was a little boy that climbed to the tallest branch of the tallest trees to look at the stars. One day a boat came to visit, asking Jemmy to visit their land in exchange for a button made from a oceans pearl to give to his family.They all walked through the green forest, full of trees, as they made their way to the ocean to sail away. He left his home, his island, and his trees. He was able to explore many things he had not seen before including the choppy ocean filled with many fish. When he got to the other side of the ocean he noticed that the homes were so different there than where he lived. They were made of rocks and made into towers. They hardly had any trees, and had so many people. He bought new clothes and started to fit in with everyone. Everyone was really nice to him sharing experiences with him he never experienced before. He missed his home and knew there was nothing like home. He decided to go home and teach everyone what he had learned. Home is where your heart is!

I feel like out of all the books I've read during this week, this particular book's setting definitely impacted the story. In the beginning of the story you can see a red boy sitting on the top of a tree looking at the stars. This gave me a sense that this child was alone in wild. The next picture that caught my eye, there was thin and tall grass on the page and all black people walking through them. This picture looks kind of scary because there are all black figures walking in the grass. Then the illustrator shows that the boy meets the men in hats and they're all looking at him. This setting made me feel nervous for the young child being surrounded by strange men staring at him. The setting for this book is in England and the island of Tierra Del Fuego in the 1800's. The men are shown taking the boy to a place where there are many black figures of people, yet he's the only red one in the book. I think this picture symbolizes that he is very different from everyone that he meets in England.

"Jemmy Button," was a good book. It was about an indigenous boy who was taken from his home by the captain of the HMS Beagle. The man took the young boy to England to teach him about the upper-class life. The boy enjoyed his time there, but he missed his home and he never felt liked he belonged there. Once the captain was done teaching the boy he brought him back to South America. The captain told him to teach his people what he learned. At night he climbed the tallest tree and said, "My name is Orundellico and I have come home." With his experience in England, he could speak and teach people new things. This is a good historical book to read to children. The words are simple at the beginning and I think the author did this to show that the young boy does not know many words. Towards the middle of the book, when the young boy is in England the illustrator did an excellent job creating pictures to describe how England was back then. The pictures show the finer things in life, but they also show how in South America the little boy has nothing. The little boy seems to like the fact of not having a lot. His journey was interesting but he wouldn't go back or move there. This book shows how the indigenous people lived and how they didn't know a lot. It also shows the readers how two people can have totally different lifestyles.½

Men from England go to an island where they meet a boy and name him Jemmy Button to take back to England with them. While he is in England all he tries to do is fit in with the people around him which doesn't seem to happen. He lived completely different from them on his island. He was surrounded by a higher society and taken many places until one day he realized he did not belong there. He got back on a boat and went back to his island where we find out his name is Orundellico. We can tell from the illustrations in the book that it is set back in time because of the top hats, big dresses and hats on the people of England. In the Author's note we find out that this occurred in the 1800's and the island that Jemmy Button is from is Tierra del Fuego in South America. Jemmy Button was quiet famous in England even attracting the King and Queen. The theme of the book is money and privilege is not everything. Family and home is what matters most to us.

This book is based on real life events that happened in the 1800's. A young boy was taken from his home of Tierra del Fuego by English men who wanted to civilize him. Jemmy's mother was given a pearl button and promised his return home. Jemmy took the long voyage across the ocean to England where he was treated like royalty, even attracting the king and queen. Jemmy loved the attention, but amongst all tall buildings, stages filled with music, and the ice cream he missed home, he knew he didn't quite fit in. Upon his return back home, immediately Jemmy took off the suit and top hat he was fitted with in England and ran "as free as a bird" with the rest of the natives in Tierra del Fuego. As soon as he hit his native land he know that's where he needed to be. He climbed to the tallest tree, just like he use to do before his trip to England, and said, "My name is Orundellico, and I have come home." Orundellico knew that the hustle and bustle was not letting him be the person he truly was. He felt at home on the island and could be who he really was. I would use this book to show students that it's okay to be different as long as you are happy and true to who you really are.

I enjoyed this introduction to Jemmy Button and am intrigued to know more about his story. This book could be a great resource when discussing colonization and the dangers of imposing cultural expectations on others. I love that Jemmy returns to his roots! Also a great example of being true to one's self.

I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't until the very end when I realized this story was about an actual person, which made it that much more interesting. The illustrations were great, playing on color and contrast. I would definitely use this book in my classroom.

Jemmy Button is a beautifully illustrated, yet simple picture book that depicts a young boy taken from his native island and brought to England in 1800. Here in England he is treated wonderfully, however he is also a guinea pig in an experiment to colonialize this young boy. When he is returned home 32 years later, it is expected that he has been changed and will share his new found knowledge and sophistication with his people. However, as soon as he is truly at home, the once little boy who has been away for years immediately returns to his native customs, disregarding all he has learned.

Genre: Fiction
Audience: 1-5
This was a beautifully illustrated book about Jemmy Button who was taken to England from an island near South America and returned back after 32 years. It explores the concepts of colloliansm and what it means to be civilized and what it means to be home. This book will appeal to students of all ages and I will read it to them when we discuss explorers and native populations.

A beautifully rendered true story about an indigenous boy from Tierra del Fuego who is transported to London in the early 1800s, where he encounters a vastly different world.
