This month's book is No Ordinary Sound. We'll discuss Melody Ellison's life during the Civil Rights Movement and make our own campaign buttons.
American Girl has recommended their historical character books for ages 8 and up, but we will leave it to guardian's discretion.
Kids and their grownup should read through the book and discussion questions ahead of time so we can have a fruitful discussion!
Please sign up at The Trove Desk starting December 16th to receive your discussion questions. Space is limited!
About No Ordinary Sound:
Melody Ellison can’t wait to sing her first solo at church, and she wants to pick a song that’s special. She gets advice from her big brother, who has his sights set on becoming a Motown star, and inspiration from her older sister, who’s home from college with new ideas about marches and protests and making things fair. When Melody experiences discrimination for herself, she decides to stand up and speak out about civil rights, too. As her solo approaches, an unimaginable tragedy leaves her silent. Can Melody find her voice to speak up for those who can’t?
