Peace, Locomotion

De: Jacqueline Woodson

Narrado por: Dion Graham

Twelve-year-old Lonnie is finally feeling at home with his foster family. But because he's living apart from his little sister, Lili, he decides it's his job to be the "rememberer" - and write down everything that happens while they're growing up.

Lonnie's reflections in his letters to Lili are bittersweet. He's happy that they both have good foster families, but while his new family brings him joy, it also brings new worries: With a foster brother in the army, concepts like peace have new meaning for Lonnie.

Told through letters from Lonnie to Lili, this thought-provoking companion to Jacqueline Woodson's National Book Award finalist Locomotion tackles important issues in captivating, lyrical language. Lonnie's reflections on family, loss, love, and peace will strike a note with listeners of all ages.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Woodson successfully develops characters that readers will feel close to...the resonance of the characters' situations with those of many young readers and Woodson's undeniable literary talent... distinguish this." (Kirkus Reviews)

Enjoyed it at first and then got a bit bored but only because it’s for a younger generation. I was interested because it was foster related, but the characters are under 12 years of age. I would recommend this kids.
