TEACHER REVIEW
"They are fascinated with the book, the history and the mural ... One parent
stopped by to talk about it. Several students have said that they were introducing their own parents to the history after they read and translated the first chapter to them. I even had one parent request a copy so she could read it also! I LOVE THIS BOOK and the extra dimension it gives the history and the mural. 3D at its best!" 5th Grade Teacher
