Produktinformationen zu „Kizzy Ann Stamps (ePub)“
Taking things in stride is not easy for Kizzy Ann, but with her border collie, Shag, stalwart at her side, she sets out to live a life as sweet as syrup on cornbread. In 1963, as Kizzy Ann prepares for her first year at an integrated school, she worries about the color of her skin, the scar running from the corner of her right eye to the tip of her smile, and whether anyone at the white school will like her. She writes letters to her new teacher in a clear, insistent voice, stating her troubles and asking questions with startling honesty. The new teacher is supportive, but not everyone feels the same, so there is a lot to write about. Her brother, James, is having a far less positive school experience than she is, and the annoying white neighbor boy won't leave her alone. But Shag, her border collie, is her refuge. Even so, opportunity clashes with obstacle. Kizzy Ann knows she and Shag could compete well in the dog trials, but will she be able to enter?From Jeri Watts comes an inspiring middle-grade novel about opening your mind to the troubles and scars we all must bear—and facing life with hope and trust.
Autoren-Porträt von Jeri Watts
I grew up the first few years on a farm in Bedford County, Virginia, and that proved very helpful when I was writing Kizzy Ann Stamps, because she lives on a farm in that same place! I wish I'd had a dog like hers, but we did have our own wonderful dogs—and other animals too. After I had my own family, I had a superbly lazy, continuously hungry black Lab named Nimbus who kept my two daughters company as they grew up! My father was a storyteller, and I love to tell stories too—mostly on paper, though. Having been a reader all my life, it seems natural to turn to the page when I tell my stories! I've been with children many years, and I love being with them, so writing for children is one way to stay with them, especially now that I teach at the college level. I used to work with children on their writing. Now I work with teachers about teaching writing to their students, so it is still important to me for children to write. There is a writer inside everyone, I believe, and it starts with the reader inside each of us!
Three Things You Might Not Know About Me:
1. I have an identical twin sister.
2. I hate licorice.
3. I collect watches.
