This year’s donation includes such titles as: “Lucky Broken Girl,” by Ruth Behar; “Chester Nez, and the Unbreakable Code,” by Joseph Bruchac; “Enchanted Air,”by Margarita Engle; “Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History,” by Vashti Harrison: “Little Legends: Exceptional Men in Black History,” by Vashti Harrison; “It’s Up to You, Abe Lincoln,” by Tom and Leila Hirschfeld; “I Am Walt Disney,” by Brad Meltzer; “Chasing Lincoln’s Killer,” by James L. Swanson, and “Turning Pages: My Life Story,” by Sonia Sotomayor.
The books are donated as part of the auxiliary’s Patriotism Through Literacy project, according to a recent news release.
The donation was made earlier this month.
