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.
