Satch and Me
Our book selection for March is Satch and Me by Dan Gutman. This book is one of several books in the Baseball Card Adventure series. So if you like this book, there are many more just waiting for you to read! Mr. Gutman is a prolific writer of children's books. Another fun book series written by him is the My Weird School series (Mrs. Yonkers is Bonkers, Mr. Macky is Wacky, etc.). Many of Gutman's books feature a sports theme (The Million Dollar Shot) but he has also written mysteries, biographies, non-fiction, and books for adults. All of his books are fast-paced and fun to read. Dan Gutman is definitely a good author to get to know!

Silk Umbrellas by Carolyn Marsden
Our next book club meeting will be Thursday, Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. We will be discussing the book, Silk Umbrellas by Carolyn Marsden. Ms. Marsden has published eight multicultural children's books and will have two more books published this year. She is a careful and talented author who wants to introduce readers to children of different cultures and to explore their joys and problems. In Silk Umbrellas, we are taken into the culture and lifestyle of a rural village in Thailand. I could really relate to this book since I had the great opportunity to live in Thailand from 1997-2000. I'm excited to share this book with the Ashburn book club readers and to bring some of my souvenirs from living three years in Thailand.
