We’re busy packing for our big move in a few weeks, but I’m never too busy to read. I’ve been using my Kindle a lot – taking it with me when I go on errands with my husband or reading in bed. I also have a great hard back book going.
Fugitives of the Forest by Allan Levine is the story of the Jewish people who hid in the forests during World War II to escape the Nazis. Some were partisans. Some just were hiding to save their families. Quite a while ago I read Defiant which tells the same story. It’s so heartbreaking to read all the things that the Jewish people suffered during World War II.
16-year-old daughter – Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
15-year-old son – Small Arms Visual Encyclopedia by Martin J. Dougherty
13-year-old son – Knives, Daggers and Bayonets by Tobias Capwell
11-year-old daughter – Trading Faces by Julia DeVillers and Jennifer Roy. This is a book about twin sisters who switch places to see what each other’s lives are like.+
9-year-old daughter – The Ersatz Elevator by Lemony Snickett
7-year-old son – Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye by Geronimo Stilton
4-year-old son – Ten Apples Up On Top! by Theo LeSieg (Dr. Seuss). This is a silly book about three animal friends who run around with ten apples balanced on top of their heads.
2-year-old son – Alfie Gets in First by Shirley Hughes. We love all of the Alfie books. He’s such a normal little toddler/preschooler with a little sister.
Are you ever too busy to read or is that a silly question?
Intentional Simplicity 
Well I found some great silly books to read to the boys eh! That caterpillar one that had C’s, C’s, C’s in it was silly. Not surprised at Noah’s and Ezra’s choices HAH!
Going to look up the book you are reading.
I am reading a book on my kindle that is about a girl that comes from Ireland on a boat to find her twin brother after her parents die. Can’t remember the name lol but it is good.
Genevieve is still enthralled with the “I Survived” and I’m going to challenge Tim to read them ;). Great way to learn history!
Stef continues to write her book on her journal app and I HAVE to somehow get it in print – it is tooooo cute 🙂

Learning history through a story book is the best. Way to go, Stef. Maybe she’ll be a writer like Eva-Joy who carries a notebook with her everywhere and is constantly writing in it when she’s not writing on the computer.
