I think this book is showing a little girl who shows great bravery,smartness,and toughness.And her name is Serafina.Also,if I had to rate it 1 – 10 I would say 8 because it was not to bad at all.So the most of the begining is about how she gets a new baby brother and you have to find out his name.But the other brother things happend.I hope you like Serafinas Promise.

Have you ever wanted to do something you don’t have the money for? Serafina wants to go to school but her family can’t afford the uniform. She decided to grow a garden and sell the plants. This story was exciting and sad. Will Serafina raise enough money to go to school?

Title Serafinas Promise
By Ann E. Burg

Have you ever wanted to be a doctor?
One day a girl named Serafina had a baby brother named Piare.

Then Serafina wanted to be a doctor but she had to go to school.
Her brother was sick so she had to work to get food and money
for her family. She was scared to ask her parents to go to school
to be a doctor because her brother was sick. There is also a hurricane in the book. Will they survive?

Would you like to become a doctor just like Serafina and her friend julie marie? If you do keep on reading.In this book Serafina want to become a doctor and go to school just like Antoinette Solaine but she doesnt have the money and has to lots of chores and manman has lots of worries.In my opinion i think this storie is very well writen and is detailed.This story tells you how Serafina lives her life every day it Port-au-Prince Haiti where she lives.What do you think will happen will happen with serfina and everything in her life?Will she become a doctor?

Have you heard of a not-so-little feature on our site called the Mystery Book Theater? Hopefully, yes. Because we make a couple of them a month.

Well, Karen recently showed me to some book trailers made by kids — and whoa, they’re really good! I’m totes jealous*… especially since I’ve been slaving away, drawing all of these Mystery Book Theaters for every Kidsmomo theme!

Check out these book trailers:

Amazing, huh? Inspired by these book trailers, I think Kidsmomo will be taking a stab at this video style! First up: our upcoming Mystery Book Theater for mythology-inspired books. So make sure to check back next Tuesday for our super-duper-fancy-schmancy awesome book trailer.

Nancy seems to be complaining about illustrating MBTs in this post, but where else does she get the glorious opportunity to draw someone drowning in puke?
