When Lightning Comes in a Jar


by Patricia Polacco

*****

I actually got this recommendation from a fellow blogger who also enjoys reading books with her kids. Its amazing how many extraordinary children's books there are out there. I loved this one! I've read Patricia Polacco before, but I've never happened upon this gem. It made me wish to be transported to this simpler time of listening to old relative's stories, having sack races, and catching fireflies in a jar. It truly made me long to be a kid again.
