The Watsons Go to Birmingham—1963 by Christopher Paul CurtisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another great book shared as a read-aloud with my (now) 11-year-old! We enjoyed following Kenny through his family experiences in Flint and on his family road trip down to Birmingham. Older brother Byron's behavior - alternating between bullying and fierce affection for his family - sparked some great conversations for us. Though I think it's read more often for its historical roots, I really appreciated the sensitive handling of mental health issues for children.
